The Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) sets out Fife’s priorities for nature conservation. This plan is supported by The Fife Biodiversity Partnership, a group of individuals and organisations from across Fife with expertise in the natural environment. In 2026, the partnership adopted a 20-year plan in line with the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy to 2045.
The plan sets clear goals for biodiversity and measures to track progress towards them. It guides the protection of vital habitats and species while supporting the restoration and enhancement of Fife’s landscapes.
By encouraging local involvement in conservation and raising awareness of nature’s value, the plan aims to improve quality of life across Fife - now and into the future.
The below map shows the six ecosystem habitats set out in the LBAP. Use the controls to zoom in to locations that matter to you and see how different ecosystems interact with one another. You can click on a habitat for further details.
