The Manx Nature Alliance aims to ensure nature conservation remains high on the island's agenda.
Wildlife conservationists and campaigners on the Isle of Man have joined together to form a new lobby group in a bid to create a "stronger voice for Manx nature".
The group said its goal was the conservation and restoration of the island's wildlife and habitats and ensuring the topic remains high on the island's agenda. Manx Nature Alliance includes the Isle of Man Fungus Group, Manx Bat Group, Manx BirdLife and Manx Wildlife Trust as well as a group of independent professional ecologists.
The new group said it would carry out research on the state of the island's nature and wildlife, as well as look at the science and data, which would enable its members to discuss and come to a consensus before lobbying the government and raising awareness of specific issues.
