State of Hampshire's Biodiversity

The State of Hampshire's Biodiversity examines changes in our natural environment during the past 10 years. It outlines key successes and identifies challenges ahead. Key findings:

• Decline of species is slowing

• Loss of biodiversity to development has been reduced

• Freshwater and wetland habitats are in poor condition

• Hampshire's coast is under increasing pressure from sea-level rise

• Grassland areas and many woodlands are not managed to conserve their biodiversity

• Effects of climate change on Hampshire's biodiversity is uncertain

The report provides the basis for making decisions about the future of Hampshire's natural environment. Compiled by the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre on behalf of the Hampshire Biodiversity Partnership.
