Monaghan County Council is preparing a new Local Biodiversity Action plan (LABAP) supported by the Heritage Council. Following the launch of the 4th National Biodiversity Action Plan in January of this year, all Local Authorities are required to have Biodiversity Action Plans in place by the end of 2026. With the recent appointment of a Biodiversity Officer, under the Heritage Council’s Biodiversity Officer Programme, Monaghan County Council are commencing this process and plan to finalise a Local Authority Biodiversity Action Plan by early 2025. The aim of this plan will be to protect, restore and enhance biodiversity within County Monaghan over the next five years.
The Biodiversity Action Plan is a framework document that sets out a series of actions,
for a five year period, through which we aim to conserve and enhance the biodiversity of
Monaghan. This will be achieved by prioritising, coordinating and initiating actions to ensure
effective conservation and raising of biodiversity in partnership with local communities.
We are inviting you to help shape the Action Plan. Where should our focus be for the next five years? What would be your key priorities, if it were up to you to make the decisions?
We have prepared a discussion document, to help you work through the many issues facing the county. You can view the discussion document here.
