It is an important element in the biodiversity process as it provides an update on the work and successes of the previous 12 months. The original LBAP (Tranche 1), including an introductory background booklet, along with 9 Species Action Plans (SAPs) and 11 Habitat Action Plans (HAPs), was launched in September 2001. Tranche 2, comprising a further 10 plans (2 HAPs and 8 SAPs), was launched in September 2002. A further series of plans (Tranche 3) followed in March 2005 and a review of actions approved by the Partnership in 2008. The monitoring and review element of the Plan not only enables reporting on what has been achieved but also helps the Glasgow Biodiversity Partnership in the review process. Each Species and Habitat Action Plan has a series of objectives and details specific actions to be carried out in order to conserve and enhance populations of particular animal and plant species or to protect and enhance sites containing valuable habitats.
