Thank you for taking the BIG Biodiversity Challenge in 2019!

The BIG Biodiversity Challenge to "do one thing" invites the construction industry to add at least one new biodiversity enhancement to  construction sites, developments or existing buildings.

This form represents Part Two of the BIG Biodiversity Awards application process.  The information you provide in this form will be used to support Part One of your BIG Biodiversity Awards application which will ask for further descriptive material, images and supporting evidence. Please ensure information given in both parts is consistent ie title of project, categories entered etc etc. Note you must fill in a separate application form and questionnaire for each category and project submission given.

You have until close of play on Friday, 7th June 2019 to complete and submit your Part One Application Form and this Part Two Questionnaire.  This Part Two Questionnaire should take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

A biodiversity enhancement is an action that improves biodiversity and ecological habitat. The BIG biodiversity Challenge asks the construction industry to consider implementing enhancements that go beyond normal business practice or predetermined planning and construction conditions.

Biodiversity enhancements can be simple or complex, small or large, permanent or temporary. They could be a legacy through learning or a lasting improvement in biodiversity outcomes. Temporary interventions may cover the lifespan of projects, such as utilizing site hoardings as green walls or using waste material to create bug hotels. Examples may also involve the creation of rain gardens, or a client and project workforce collaborating to improve site conditions for biodiversity. They may involve an individual developing a new way of thinking to integrate green infrastructure and micro habitats into a site or using improved means of recording and monitoring, through citizen science or the application of the latest technology.
