At the "Earth Summit" held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 the UK Prime Minister and over 150 other heads of state or government committed their countries to working towards national strategies for the protection of our local, national and global environment. The four UK official strategies were published simultaneously: "Sustainable development", "Biodiversity", "Climate Change" and "Sustainable Forestry". They should be of interest to everyone concerned with or involved in the future of our environment throughout the world. No organization lives in isolation from other living things and each has its own way of life which contributes to the healthy balance of nature. This plan commits the UK government to an action plan to halt the loss of animal and plant species and essential genetic resources. How organizations and committed individuals implement this plan will influence our future natural heritage. In the end whether our country is richer or poorer in species and habitats depends on all of us.
