Biodiversity in IA toolkit

Regional information links:

There is no reliable information available about the status of EIA legislation and practice throughout the UKOTs and other small islands. On the evidence available, application of model approaches is best described as patchy, with some territories, dependencies and states demonstrating progress toward greater rigour and transparency in this area. However, for the most part, it is evident that on-going biodiversity loss is being exacerbated as a result of less than adequate or appropriate impact assessment.

The following pages have information on UKOTs' EIA process, requirements and biodiversity. Click on a section of this map to go directly to countries in a particular area, or scroll down the page and browse. Detailed information on the background of EIA and biodiversity in each country or territory is presented, along with recent information on protected areas and significant species that may be found there.

If you aren't sure where these places are, try using this map.

Pages contain a short description of the country, background information on EIA laws and regulations, and summary information on the important species and protected areas of each country.
