Guidelines set out for next ten years
Tynwald has unanimously approved the Island's first Biodiversity Strategy.
Entitled "Managing our Natural Wealth" it sets out guidelines to protect and preserve the Island's natural environment for the next ten years.
It means the Island has now adopted a policy in line with the International Convention on Biological Diversity.
