UK Habitats and Species Conservation Status Report for 2013

The 2013 UK Habitats Directive report contains tabular data on the conservation status of habitats and species. The Joint Nature Conservation Committee compiled this information from UK Country Agencies and offshore data providers. It includes separate sheets for habitat details, species details, pressures, threats, conservation measures, and supporting lookup tables.

Use Cases

• Assess conservation status trends for habitats and species based on the reported parameters.
• Analyze pressures and threats affecting UK biodiversity based on the dedicated spreadsheet tab.
• Evaluate conservation measures implemented across different UK regions based on the reported data.
• Map habitat and species data to UK regions based on agency abbreviations (ne, nrw, snh, ni, off).

Strengths

• Data is structured across multiple thematic tabs (habitats, species, pressures, measures) for focused analysis.
• Includes supporting lookup tables to explain codes used within the spreadsheet.
• Covers data from all UK country agencies and offshore waters, as stated in the description.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2026-04-14 09:45:23.497002; freshness should be verified as the underlying report is from 2013.
