UK Nature Barometer
The UK Nature Barometer shows
changes in the state of UK Nature (species and habitats) by drawing
together the results of surveillance schemes, biological recording,
and protected site monitoring.
- It uses new cross cutting analysis
and interpretation, aided by research, to help identify the main
pressures affecting biodiversity and so guide remedial policy and
action.
- As changes in pressures are forecast
it will help predict how biodiversity may respond to inform options
for policy and action
- It provides evidence which underpins
the headline indicators which will be used to assess the 2010
target
- JNCC will use the barometer to
provide evidence for its advice and reporting drawing relevant
summary pictures of biodiversity (readings). The data and
techniques are all available to allow others to use the barometer
to answer their own questions.
The UK Nature
Barometer draws on layers of data and analysis to produce summary
readings of the state of nature to help guide policy and
action.
Species changing by more than 25%
over the last ten years
For details of each scheme and its
results
Condition of protected areas
For details of how sites are
monitored and an overview of UK results
Changes in broad habitat condition
as shown by typical species
For statistics on over 5000
species, interrogation and download of these statistics, new
analytical techniques and a summary of the state of components of
UK nature.
