Introduction to the Gloucestershire Priority Species

The Gloucestershire BAP Priority Species list is currently under review. It is the aim of the Partnership to have the species review complete by early 2010.

The Partnership have agreed the following selection criteria to determine the new Priority Species List for Gloucestershire:

Species on the UKBAP Priority Species list which are found in Gloucestershire
Species whose local decline meets national BAP criteria for marked decline
Red Listed birds
Nationally Scarce plants
Culturally valued species - species which are particularly associated with or characteristic of Gloucestershire

Viewing Action Plans
If there is a BARS image in the right column this means that there is an Action Plan available on BARS website, and this can be viewed by clicking on the BARS image.
If there is a square box alongside the BARS image this signifies that these entries share the same Species Action Plan on the BARS website.
Managing for Species
With greater emphasis on achieving our biodiversity targets through habitat-based delivery at a landscape-scale level, Natural England's report 'Managing for Species', identifies how to integrate the needs of England's priority species into habitat management.
