The State of Hampshire's Biodiversity was launched on 8th November 2006 at the Partnership's conference Biodiversity in Hampshire: Achieving a Sustainable Future. The report assesses the changes, losses and gains for wildlife in the county over the past 10 years. It also identifies the current influences affecting the health of our habitats and species.

Reviewing objectives and reporting progress is key to the biodiversity process in Hampshire and throughout the UK. The 2005/6 Review of Progress shows substantial progress in meeting the Hampshire Biodiversity Partnership's 21 key objectives.

The Partnership has published a report of key achievements from 2002 to 2004 and priorities for action in 2005 to 2007.
