Background
The "species designations" collation has been
built largely from the same components used for the Species of
Conservation Concern listing produced as a part of the Biodiversity
Action Plan process in 1999-2000. It has however been substantially
updated to incorporate
- Newly published status lists
- accepted revisions to a status list
- changes to legislative lists and annexes.
This collation should NOT however be referred to
as the SoCC list because this is likely to cause confusion with the
published SoCC list and any future revisions of this list published
as part of the BAP priority species review process.
