UK Biodiversity Indicators 2023. Indicator C3b: Status of UK species of European importance 2023

Abstract

This indicator was not updated in 2023. It was last updated in 2019.

These documents support state indicator C3b – Status of UK species of European importance. The documents include a datasheet.

This indicator is based on the results of UK reporting undertaken under a European Directive, and was last updated prior to the end of the Transition Period following the UK’s exit from the European Union (31 December 2020).

Member States of the European Union are required to report every six years on the conservation status of habitats and species of community interest (listed in the Annexes of the EU Habitats Directive). These are habitats and species for which the UK had European level conservation responsibilities. The assessments needed to conclude whether each species of European importance found in the UK was in a: ‘Favourable’, ‘Unfavourable-Inadequate’, ‘Unfavourable-Bad’ or ‘Unknown’ conservation status. These categories are combined in the indicator as explained below. This indicator is based on an evaluation of whether the results of the most recent assessment (2019) were better or worse than those for the previous assessments (2007 and 2013).
