Progress update NC3

Support good conservation management by farmers and landowners so that:

a) 70% of the area covered by Local Biodiversity Action Plan priority habitats is in favourable condition by 2010;

b) at least 95% of nationally and internationally important wildlife sites are in favourable condition by 2010.

Progress update:

a) Percentage of Local Biodiversity Action Plan priority habitats in favourable condition

Information to report on this indicator is not yet available.  The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority completed a five year survey of habitats across the National Park in 2007.  That data is now being loaded onto an electronic ‘habitat map’ to allow detailed analysis.  The results will be published later this year.

b) Percentage of biological and mixed biological and geological SSSIs in 'favourable or recovering' condition
