About the WBP

The Wales Biodiversity Partnership brings together key players from the public, private and voluntary sectors to promote, monitor and deliver biodiversity actions in Wales. The delivery mechanisms are organised, steered and facilitated by the steering group, the wider partnership and the support team.

The WBP consists of a wide network of people who have a role to play in biodiversity conservation in Wales. It includes all LBAP Partnership members, all staff of Local Record Centres, all Association of Local Authority Ecologists (ALGE) members and all Biodiversity Champions from Local Authorities/National Parks. In addition it includes all those who have so far applied to become members.

The main objective of the Partnership is to enable and deliver biodiversity action and this requires a strategic steer. The WBP Steering Group consists of around 30 members chosen from appropriate public, private and voluntary sector groups and organisations in Wales. It has been set up to work on behalf of the Partnership to coordinate Wales level actions. The Steering Group provides a leadership role and is the decision making group; however, it does not act exclusively. The Steering Group makes decisions depending on the advice and expertise available throughout the wider partnership.
