Habitats listed in the LBAPs

 

The criteria used for selection of habitats for inclusion in Local BAPs* varies greatly and is specific to each LBAP. Plans vary both in scope -from Broad Habitats to specific UKBAP habitats; to scale - working with habitats at a county to a city level. While this may seem confusing many of the LBAPs share common objectives and targets and work to preserve and recreate similar habitats.

Similar plans have been grouped together and can be accessed using the dropdown menus in the table below. Each LBAP option links to a full description of the habitat's: extent and distribution ; threats; objectives, targets and actions with the LBAP region
