The Business Case

Managing biodiversity on campus and incorporating biodiversity into campus planning has a credible business case, offering a wide range of benefits and opportunities, not only to wildlife. Alongside increasing habitat and species richness you will need to meet legal requirements. You can also improve the campus environment, promote health and well-being, generate good publicity, provide personal development opportunities for staff and students, embed sustainability in the curriculum, build stronger relationships within the local community and save money.
