Details
With regard to the Single Data List - local sites in positive conservation management, due to a variety of restrictions relating to the Covid 19 pandemic, Defra will not be contacting local authorities this year to request 2020/2021 data. There will therefore be a break in the series for the stats release “Nature conservation: Local Sites in positive conservation management in England” for 2020/21, and England biodiversity indicator 16 (“Integrating biodiversity considerations into local decision making”).

This publication contains information on local sites (ie sites designated locally for their substantive nature conservation importance, either for wildlife or geology). These sites are being managed so as to preserve their nature conservation interest (ie are in “positive conservation management”).
The data allows assessment of the proportion (percentage) of the total number of local sites in England where positive conservation management is being implemented, or has been in the last 5 years. Assessing the extent of positive management can help to identify sites where such management is lacking. This will help to concentrate the efforts of local site partnerships in ensuring the sites are managed appropriately, and their nature conservation value is maintained or enhanced.
