Summary results
Summary results from the assessments of conservation
status of habitats and species under article 17 of the Habitats
Directive
Each of the assessments of
conservation status has four parameters – for details of how these
have been assessed see the
background and
conservation
status pages.
JNCC has undertaken some simple
analysis of the results. Three broad themes have been
identified in analysing the results of the assessments:
- Firstly there are gaps in our knowledge in the form of data and
understanding. These are recorded as ‘unknown’ in the
assessment conclusions.
- The second theme is that considerable progress has been made
since the Habitats Directive came into force in 1994, which is
reflected in the number of habitats and species that are recorded
as being favourable or unfavourable but improving.
- Finally, there are those habitats and species which are
unfavourable and deteriorating which require additional measures to
ensure their long term viability.
A zip file is available below which
contains:
- Excel Spreadsheet of results and some simple analysis
- Word document with examples of species and habitats which
illustrate the themes above
- Word document with a summary analysis of the results by
parameter
