Ten conservation projects launched to halt biodiversity decline

Action for Wildlife programme trying to stop species going extinct

Ten conservation projects aimed at halting biodiversity decline are being launched by the Manx Wildlife Trust.

They form part of the Action for Wildlife programme and have been made possible by multiple partnerships with government, industry, funding partners and NGO's.

It's thought that up to 70 per cent of the Island's birds and 40 per cent of plants are classified as of conservation concern.

Andree Dubbledam is the Manx Wildlife Trust's Conservation Officer.
