Biodiversity
is a fairly new word to our language, but it is becoming
more and more commonly used and understood. It simply
signifies the variety of life on earth in all its shapes
and sizes – from smallest insect and fungus to
the largest mammal or tree. In Scotland alone we may
have around 90,000 species; worldwide there could be
at least 30 million!
Tayside has a very rich biodiversity resource that is vital to its economy:
tourism relies on our beautiful landscape, insects pollinate our crops,
and the land provides raw materials for our food, drink, clothing, buildings
and roads.
The Tayside Biodiversity Action Plan has two main aims: to co-ordinate
existing actions, as well as initiating and co-ordinating new ones; and
to conserve and enhance the region’s biodiversity, taking into account
both local and national priorities. This is not just the task of government
- it concerns everyone. We are all responsible for our actions and the
impacts we have on our local surroundings.

In
a nutshell, 2020VISION is a multimedia
project that communicates the link between
people's well being and the restoration
of natural systems. Putting it another
way, we're the PR agents for Bogs, Bees
and Barn owls!
