Similarly the list of habitats of principal importance in England also derive from the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Both lists were reviewed in 2007, and the total number of UK BAP habitats increased from 45 to 65, and the number of UK BAP species increased from under 600 to 1,150. [4]
The Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019 gives effect to EU regulations on the prevention and management of the spread of invasive alien species listing 66 species which are of special concern, of which 14 of these species are found in England and Wales. [1]
This is a list of United Kingdom Biodiversity Action Plan species. Some suffer because of loss of habitat, but many are in decline following the introduction of foreign species, which out-compete the native species or carry disease. See also the list of extinct animals of the British Isles.
a species that colonised these islands during the retreat of ice at the end of the last ice age; a species that was present in these islands when the English Channel was created and the land bridge between Britain and continental Europe was flooded; a species that has colonised without human assistance; in some cases this is uncertain.
The lists (spread across multiple pages due to size) give an English name and a scientific name for each species, and two symbols are used to indicate status (e for extinct species, and * for introduced species). List of the vascular plants of Britain and Ireland (ferns and allies) covers ferns and allies (Lycopodiopsida, Equisetopsida and ...
A DEFRA study from 2006 suggested that 100 species became extinct in the UK during the 20th century: about 100 times the background extinction rate. [3] This has had a major impact on indigenous animal populations. Song birds in particular are becoming scarcer, and habitat loss has affected larger mammalian species.
Bird species admitted to the British List are those in BOU categories A, B or C: A: species that have been recorded in an apparently natural state at least once since 1 January 1950. B: species that were recorded in an apparently natural state at least once between 1 January 1800 and 31 December 1949, but have not been recorded subsequently.
