Consultation description

We want to hear if and how you have used the current UK OTs biodiversity strategy. We want to know how it has been useful, what have been its limitations, and what should be contained in a new strategy to help make a sustained impact on biodiversity and a reversal of species decline in the OTs.

We are interested in hearing from individuals, researchers, NGOs and businesses who reside in or have an interest in biodiversity conservation in the UK OTs.
