Data Provider: Welsh Government National Statistics Number of species and habitats assessed by time period

The Natura 2000 sites in Wales includes the 92 Special Areas for Conservation designated under the Habitats Directive and the 19 Special Protection Areas designated under the Birds Directive. Each site is designated for one or more conservation features, and the condition of these features is monitored on an approximate six-year cycle, in line with the UK Common Standards Monitoring framework. Under this framework, features are assigned a condition category reflecting whether or not they are in a desired state (favourable condition) or are recovering towards it.

The State of the Environment report presents data on the indicators that monitor progress against the Welsh Government's Environment Strategy. The full set of data, analysis, and notes on all of the indicators are available here through our StatsWales website. On StatsWales, the indicators are presented in a series of online reports which are also linked to data tables which users can then manipulate and/or download.

The statistics come from a range of sources in Wales and across the UK, which are updated at different times and intervals. The StatsWales reports will be updated twice a year in July and December and these updates will be highlighted through a pre-announced headline statistics published on our website. A statistical bulletin showing the status of each indicator will be produced annually in July to provide a snapshot of progess across all the indicators.

The contribution of data and information by organisations which monitor the environment is gratefully acknowledged. Although most indicators are currently measured, some further work is planned to develop the other indicators and in some cases to identify more appropriate indicators, as indicated in the StatsWales reports.

The symbol '-' is used where the data is less than half the final digit shown. This may or may not be a real zero.

Unless otherwise stated, the data in these tables and indicator reports are classed as National Statistics.
