DLR County Biodiversity Action Plan 2021-2025

Overview

Nature Recovery, Restoration and Reconnection

DLRCC is in the process of drafting the new County Biodiversity Action Plan and would like to hear your views. So please get involved and help us to develop the new plan. We are all aware a National Biodiversity Crisis was declared by Dail Eireann in 2019. This highlights the importance of the role of local authorities, including DLR, in addressing biodiversity loss and how we can take action to restore and enhance our biodiversity and ecosystems. 

The consultation documents include:

1) A draft summary consultation document that sets out the Themes, Objectives and Actions for the development of a new DLR County Biodiversity Action Plan 2021-2025, and

2) The previous DLR Biodiversity Action Plan 2009 - 2013.

An Cathaoirleach, Lettie McCarthy adds:

‘It is wonderful that the DLR Biodiversity Action Plan 2021-2025 is going to public consultation. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown has such a diversity of habitats and species and this Action Plan is a vital step in keeping our biodiversity resources appreciated. I really hope people will take a moment and share their knowledge with us so we can produce a true picture of our rich diversity.'

What happens next

Once the consultation is closed we will process all the submissions and take these into consideration for the final County Biodiversity Action Plan which will be published on our Biodiversity pages of our website.
