Abstract

This paper was prepared jointly by Defra and Natural England, and sets out how the habitat targets will be defined and measured. This information serves two purposes: to provide high-level clarification for non-experts, and to provide detail for experts/those advising in the context of on-the-ground action. It includes definitions for restoration and creation, the list of wildlife-rich habitats, and the actions that will count toward the target.
