Wildlife Conservation

The Society’s Nature Conservation Working Group offers advice on all aspects of nature conservation. Chaired by the Conservation Officer, the group works closely with the London Wildlife Trust and other relevant organisations to help protect sites of nature conservation importance in the London Area. The work of the Society's biological recorders is often of crucial importance in defending such sites, and their expertise is at the disposal of members.

London Biodiversity Partnership

Following the Earth Summit at Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 and the publication of the National Biodiversity Action Plan for Britain in December 1995, The London Biodiversity Partnership (LBP) was launched in 1996. Covering the Greater London Area, this is a partnership of public, private and voluntary organisations including the LNHS. The Partnership aims to protect and enhance the capital's habitats and species, and has established 31 individual Action Plans, which support the overall London Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP).

Greenspace Initiative for Greater London

The Nature Conservation Working Group was consulted by the London Wildlife Trust, over their Biological Recording Project which will establish a biological recording centre for London, the Greenspace Initiative for Greater London (GIGL). The aims of this project are very much in accord with the interests and agenda of the LNHS, and our unrivalled collection of records will contribute to its success.
