To safeguard our local biodiversity or variety of life, we have to know which plants, animals and habitats can be found locally and whether they need action to conserve them.
‘The Biodiversity of Falkirk: an assessment of priority habitats and species’ was produced in April 2000 and looks at over 250 different habitats, plants and animals that occur in the Falkirk Council area. For each of these habitats and species a brief statement about its local extent and significance is provided, as well as an indication of the main threats to it.
