Since 2007 JNCC, working through its networks of specialists in the four UK countries, has identified the main actions required to help address the UK-based threats to Europe’s most threatened and protected terrestrial habitats. This report lists these actions, which should help to improve the conservation status of relevant habitats listed on Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive.

This means that “The habitat’s prospects are bad, severe impact from threats expected; long-term viability not assured”; long-term viability was taken to mean up to 2020. We did not cover all of the habitats (57 in number) which were judged overall (i.e. for any of the four parameters range, area, specific structures and functions or future prospects) to be ‘Unfavourable’. ‘Future prospects’ was selected as the most important parameter, because this exercise is aimed at improving the habitats’ condition in the future. The same inter-agency team (> 60 specialists) which worked on the 2007 Article 17 reporting was asked to contribute to this project. Habitat specialists were asked to answer structured questions about their habitat and to supply the top five to ten priority actions for their habitats. A working group met to combine and edit the results from all the habitats and to brigade the actions in ways which would be helpful for decision-makers, including by the main type of action, and the main issue which would be addressed by each action. Differences between the habitats in terms of the level of precision of the actions were preserved where it was felt that this reflected meaningful differences in the approach needed.
