Signals from local and national monitoring will guide us to nature recovery 2025

Abstract

Biodiversity and climate crises are globally recognised, and monitoring biodiversity is crucial for tracking progress toward conservation efforts.

The UK has world-class national biodiversity indicators that document the state and change of species and habitats, but trends at these scales are not appropriate for all evidence needs, and do not respond quickly enough to inform rapid assessments or early signals of change that can guide adaptive management and policymaking. A local scale monitoring approach is detailed here to complement the national indicators to fulfil different evidence needs.

Accompanying the main report are a short one-page overview document, and a Powerpoint presentation, which summarise the key points of the report.
