This dataset contains details of all the Species Reports that summarise the conservation status of Species listed under the Habitats Directive. Every six years, all EU Member States are required (under Article 17 of the Directive) to report on the implementation of the EU Habitats Directive. The 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report was submitted to the European Commission in October 2013.
The 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report considered the conservation status of all terrestrial and marine species listed under Annexes II, IV and V of the Directive that were present within the UK during the reporting period. This included:
*83 terrestrial species within the UK Atlantic region;
*42 marine species within the UK Marine Atlantic region;
*4 terrestrial species within the Gibraltar Mediterranean region;
*18 marine species within the Gibraltar Marine Mediterranean region.
This dataset presents the conclusions for each species together with a link to each individual species report (in pdf format). It also contains a range of parameters for each species as described in the UK Approach Document. http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/pdf/A17_2013_UKApproach.pdf
