Each of the habitats listed below appears in the South West's
Regional Action Plan ('Action for biodiversity in the South West'

Each plan closely reflects the action plan format used for the
UK biodiversity action plans listing:

- current factors affecting the habitat
- current action
- benefits
- UK biodiversity objectives and proposed targets
- South West biodiversity objectives and proposed targets
- proposed action required to meet objectives with lead agencies
