Biodiversity Implementation Plan

The Northern Ireland Biodiversity Strategy (NIBS) was launched in 2000 with 76 recommendations to Government.
In 2002 the Northern Ireland Executive set out how it would implement the NIBS recommendations which included a commitment from the then Environment and Heritage Service to produce a ‘Biodiversity Implementation Plan (BIP)’.
Since 2002 a continuous series of BIPs have been published and their targets achieved.  

The current BIP identifies actions for the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) from April 2009 – March 2012.
