IW BAP 10 Isle of Wight Biodiversity: Celebrating 10 years of local action was produced in September 2009 to mark the 10th anniversary of the Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Partnership. It highlights the achievements of the Partnership during this time, projects benefiting our unique biodiversity, how species and habitats are faring and ways to get involved locally.

The BAP is made up of a series of documents produced from 2000 to 2005. These are divided into Habitat Action Plans and Species Action Plans. The HAPs comprise the body of the plan at present, as most significant species are already dealt with in the relevant HAPs and/or covered by a national SAP.
