Work in this area encompasses gathering data and information
needed to assess the status of species, and their habitats, in the
UK and to report on their condition at both the national and
international level.
Legislation
An up to date list of species listed in the Wildlife and
Countryside Act is
available.
The consultation for the most recent review of schedules of
the Wildlife and Countryside Act is
archived.
Data
As the
National Biodiversity Network
continues to grow more data will be made available. National
datasets for dragonflies, carabids and freshwater crayfish have
been added together with area specific data from e.g. Northern
Ireland.
The Butterfly Monitoring Scheme is jointly funded by JNCC and
CEH; further details are available at the
BMS website.
Information
Red Data Books and species reviews have been produced to
assess the conservation status of invertebrates in the UK. These
are listed in our
publications catalogue.
