Plan to protect Island's natural wealth
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is calling for safeguards to protect the Island's 'natural wealth'.
Plans for a biodiversity strategy will be taken to Tynwald next week (Tues 20th).
DEFA wants the action plan - which aims to protect plants, animals and their habitats - in place by the end of the year.
Minister Richard Ronan says everyone has a part to play to ensure a sustainable future:
