 Who is the Cornwall Biodiversity Initiative?
The Cornwall Biodiversity Initiative is a voluntary partnership of organizations, businesses, local authorities, government agencies, groups and individuals with the objective of working together to protect and enhance Cornwall's Wealth of Wildlife.
Launched in 1996 the CBI continues to go from strength to strength (and is not to be confused with the Confederation of British Industries – though we are sure that has also gone from “strength to strength”!).
We all know that it is the quality of the natural environment that the people of Cornwall and visitors value so much – “biodiversity” is a complex process and difficult word to understand, so it is important to provide information on the various habitats and species that make up the landscape around us.
