UK Habitats Directive 2013 Species Data by Country and Offshore Region

147 species conservation status records from the 3rd UK Habitats Directive Report submitted in October 2013. The dataset comprises source data from four UK countries and the offshore environment, covering 83 terrestrial and 42 marine species in the Atlantic region, plus 4 terrestrial and 18 marine species in the Gibraltar Mediterranean region. It was compiled by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee for the mandatory six-year EU reporting cycle.

Use Cases

• Assess conservation status trends for 147 listed species based on the reported parameters.
• Compare species data across the five UK sources (four countries and offshore) mentioned in the description.
• Model habitat directive compliance outcomes based on the range of parameters described in the UK Approach Document.

Strengths

• Covers 147 specific species across terrestrial and marine environments.
• Data is structured for the formal EU Article 17 reporting requirement.
• Source data is disaggregated by five distinct geographic sources.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
