What is the government’s stance on business and biodiversity?
A. The government supports the view that UK companies have a significant role to play in biodiversity conservation in the UK. The UK Biodiversity Steering Group envisages that business and industry “will have a vital role in supporting local biodiversity projects” and views them as key players in Local Biodiversity Action Plan partnerships.
