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
UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP) 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 UK BAP priority species review
process.
