Quinquennial Review (QQR) Stakeholder Consultation Privacy Notice (Article 14 Privacy Notice under GDPR)

JNCC and the CNCBs

JNCC is the public body that advises the UK Government and devolved administrations on UK-wide and international nature conservation and is the body through which the Country Nature Conservation Bodies (CNCBs) of Great Britain (Natural England, Natural Resources Wales, NatureScot) act during the Quinquennial Review (QQR) of Schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).

Section 24(1) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (WCA) states that Schedules 5 and 8 of the WCA list animals (other than birds) and vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and fungi (hereafter referred to as plants) which are specially protected. The Quinquennial Reviews are the process by which the taxa protected under Schedules 5 and 8 are reviewed every five years by the conservation bodies of Great Britain acting through JNCC.
