Have your say in Derry’s Biodiversity Action Plan

We are looking for your nominations for local wildlife priorities albeit species or habitats. If you know of a species or habitat found within the Derry City Council area that you think deserves special conservation action then please nominate it by filling in the nomination form.

Your local priority can be any species or habitat, but if you’re not sure which species or habitats might be under threat you can get some ideas from the list of Northern Ireland’s priority habitats and species and species of conservation concern from the following documents:

• Northern Ireland’s Priority Species
• Northern Ireland’s Species of Conservation Concern
• Northern Ireland’s Priority Habitats

You can find out more about priority species by going to the Ulster Museum Habitas Website:

You can find out more about priority habitats by going to the Environment and Heritage Service Website and looking at Habitat Action Plans which have been created for Northern Ireland:
