Set some long term biodiversity objectives and targets
Create some objectives to enhance and protect the variety of plants and animals around your setting. Do this in collaboration with your sustainability working group, site team, SLT and potentially learners.
These should be SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound), build upon the short term goals previously set, and feed into your vision and mission statement on biodiversity. Try to be ambitious, but realistic about what is possible. You may want to refer to government targets on biodiversity. For example, by 2042, the government has committed to increase species abundance by at least 10% from 2030, surpassing 2022 levels.
There are many different ways to do this, for example, you could create targets around habitat conservation and creation, planting native species, reducing pesticide use, wildlife and species conservation, community and learners-led projects.
Benefits include contributing to local conservation efforts, improving your setting's resilience to climate change and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces.
