The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says it hasn't had the resources to achieve a 2025 deadline in the Island's biodiversity strategy.
A Freedom of Information request asked if all the Island's critical biodiversity sites would be protected and managed by 2025 as set out in the Tynwald-backed plan.
