The UK Geodiversity Action Plan (UK GAP)

Following the most recent UKGAP meeting, held in June 2008, the final version of the UKGAP has been generated. This version reflects the original wide consultation and subsequent discussion within the UKGAP group. Through this consultation the UKGAP has changed and now represents a more high-level document, which we would expect to evolve and change in detail over time.

There is now a final opportunity to see and comment on the UKGAP before it is launched. At this stage no significant changes are anticipated, but if there are minor amendments or you have any comments, please send them to the UKGAP group care of Hannah Townley (hannah.townley@naturalengland.org.uk) by 1st December 2008.

In your response, please indicate whether you or your organisation would be able to endorse and contribute to the UKGAP when it is launched and as it develops. Please also indicate if you would be happy for your response to be published on www.geoconservation.com

What next with the UKGAP?

JNCC will be taking on a facilitation role which will initially involve the development of a UKGAP website in advance of the anticipated launch in Spring 2009.
