Context launched the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP), a national strategy which identified broad activities for conservation work over the next 20 years, and established fundamental principles for future biodiversity conservation in 1994. This produced lists of threatened and declining species and habitats 2.1 POLICY BACKGROUND (amended and updated in 2007) with targets and specific actions for protecting and enhancing their conservation status. To compliment the UK BAP, separate biodiversity strategies for England and Northern Ireland were published to The Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats address biodiversity issues at a devolved country level. (the Bern Convention) was adopted in Bern, Switzerland in 1979, and came into force in 1982. The principal aims of the Convention were to ensure conservation The conventions and their subsequent outcomes set the context for nature and protection of wild plant and animal species and their natural habitats (listed conservation in the UK. Since the publication of Solihull’s first Nature in Appendices I and II of the Convention), to increase cooperation between Conservation Strategy in 1999, conservation policy, strategy and legislation has contracting parties, and to regulate the exploitation of those species (including developed at the local, regional and national scale, building on policy initiatives migratory species) listed in Appendix 3. The Convention therefore imposes legal and key legislation, including the previously mentioned Wildlife and Countryside obligations on contracting parties, protecting over 500 wild plant species and Act 1981 (as amended) and the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations more than 1000 wild animal species. 1994 (as amended). A key example is the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 gives public bodies a conservation duty which is outlined To implement the Bern Convention in Europe, the European Community adopted in this section. Council Directive 79/409/EEC on the Conservation of Wild Birds (the EC Birds Directive) in 1979, and Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Conservation policy and legislation underpinning the implementation of the Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (the EC Habitats Directive) in 1992. Nature Conservation Strategy can be found in appendix 3. A key provision of the Directives is the establishment of a European network of protected areas (Natura 2000) through the designation of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) 2.2 ASSETS The UK ratified the Bern Convention in 1982 and the Convention was 2.2.1 BIODIVERSITY IN SOLIHULL implemented and transposed into national laws by means of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981 and as amended) and the Conservation (Natural Habitats, Urbs in Rure, Solihull’s motto literally means ‘Town in the Countryside’ which & c.)
