THE ROLE OF THE STATUTORY BODIES IN ORNITHOLOGICAL CONSERVATION WITHIN THE UK

The statutory bodies in the United Kingdom advise Government on U.K. nature conservation and undertake site and species conservation Active partnerships with other organizations and individuals are an important aspect of how this conservation work is undertaken. Current work on birds includes studies on introduced species, reintroduced species, marine species and agricultural issues. The concepts of sustainable use and the conservation of biodiversity figure highly in commitments for the future and will direct efforts on research and monitoring.
