The UK SPA & Ramsar (Avian) Scientific Working Group – Progress Reports (2001–2017) 2017

Abstract

The SPA Scientific Working Group (SPA SWG) was established by Defra in November 2001 (at the same time as the 2001 UK SPA Network Review was published), to provide scientific advice on matters relating to the UK Special Protection Area network. Matters relating to avian elements of the Ramsar network were added to the Group's remit in January 2004, and the Group's title was changed to the UK SPA & Ramsar (Avian) Scientific Working Group (SPAR SWG).

The SPAR SWG comprises representatives from government, the country nature conservation bodies, and non-government organisations from the conservation, land-use and marine sectors.
