Common Standards Monitoring continues to evolve
In February a seminar was held to introduce the guidance on
setting and assessing conservation objectives for designated nature
conservation sites. The guidance was produced by JNCC and country
agencies to assist staff in undertaking site monitoring and
assessment.
Guidance is available for a range of species, habitats and
Earth science features which occur on UK protected sites.
Further guidance continues to be produced, and is now
available on JNCC's website at
www.jncc.gov.uk/csm
The guidance should be of value for others monitoring
important wildlife sites, including non-statutory nature reserves.
JNCC would be interested to receive progress reports and reviews of
its use.
