Priority species heat maps

Mapping of potential measures for the Strategy’s priority species has not been developed, due to the complex nature of the bespoke action required.

To aid locating where action could be taken, priority species heat maps have been developed for a range of habitat assemblages. These maps identify the areas that are considered to offer the most benefits for priority species, using the density of priority species for that habitat assemblage as a proxy. These maps are indicative and are intended to provide additional and supporting information for delivery. They should be used in consultation with species experts, when delivering action for priority species.

It is intended that these maps will be available via the online mapping tool in the future – for the time being they are provided as an addendum to the Strategy.
