An evaluation of the Greater Manchester Biodiversity Project: Local perceptions.
Although the Greater Manchester Biodiversity Project has formulated action plans over the last five years, its impression upon the public -and their support – has not been thoroughly tested. This dissertation determines the understanding of Article 6 of the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity amongst the general populace of Greater Manchester, as well as the actions undertaken by various bodies locally to effect action plans, particularly that of the North West Brown Hare. Primary research is carried out by surveying a minimum of 25 residents each in Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan, determining the areas that have most successfully conveyed the need for biodiversity.
