This dataset has been produced from a project identifying necessary actions to demonstrate real conservation progress, as required by the Habitats Directive.
Since 2007 JNCC, working through its networks of specialists in the four UK countries, has identified the main actions required to help address the UK-based threats to Europeâs most threatened and protected terrestrial habitats. This report lists these actions, which should help to improve the conservation status of relevant habitats listed on Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive.

The study covers those terrestrial and freshwater habitats whose future prospects were
reported as âUnfavourableâ. This means that âThe habitatâs prospects are bad, severe impact
from threats expected; long-term viability not assuredâ; long-term viability was taken to
mean up to 2020.
We did not cover all of the habitats (57 in number) which were judged overall (i.e. for any of the four parameters range, area, specific structures and functions or future prospects) to be âUnfavourableâ. âFuture prospectsâ was selected as the most important
parameter, because this exercise is aimed at improving the habitatsâ condition in the future.
The same inter-agency team (> 60 specialists) which worked on the 2007 Article 17 reporting
was asked to contribute to this project. Habitat specialists were asked to answer structured
questions about their habitat and to supply the top five to ten priority actions for their
habitats.
A working group met to combine and edit the results from all the habitats and to brigade the
actions in ways which would be helpful for decision-makers, including by the main type of
action, and the main issue which would be addressed by each action. Differences between
the habitats in terms of the level of precision of the actions were preserved where it was felt
that this reflected meaningful differences in the approach needed.
