This guide is designed to help health, safety and environment (HSE) professionals in the oil and gas industry and other relevant staff, e.g. those involved with project planning, develop biodiversity action plans (BAPs) for their sites and projects. BAPs are a systematic approach to biodiversity conservation that can build on, and be integrated with, existing company activities and processes throughout the oil and gas project life cycle.
