The Highland Biodiversity Partnership comprises around 30 representatives of local groups and key organisations committed to understanding, safeguarding, restoring and celebrating biodiversity within the Highland Council area. Its purpose is to provide guidance and support to the existing network of local biodiversity groups, and to make progress on the key strategic biodiversity issues in the Highlands. The Partnership has two sub groups:

• Management Sub Group (MSG), chaired by George Hamilton of Highland Council, which was set up to identify and make progress on the key strategic issues facing Highland biodiversity by prioritising resources, submitting funding bids and overseeing contracts.
• Scientific & Technical Advisory Group (STAG), chaired by Ro Scott of Scottish Natural Heritage, which aims to provide advice to the Partnership and the local biodiversity groups on issues relating to the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and Scottish Biodiversity List habitats and species, and any other issues requiring a scientific or technical input.
