Over 94% of the UK’s unique biodiversity lives in the UK Overseas Territories.

These 14 Territories support a large number of rare and threatened species and habitats found nowhere else on Earth, including breeding grounds for endangered turtles, a third of the world’s albatrosses, a quarter of the world’s penguins and the world’s largest coral atoll.

The 14 Territories are also home to 250,000 British nationals, who are best placed to decide how to manage their own marine environments.
