Terrestrial Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority Habitats of Wales (archived 2022)
This dataset is the geographic data for Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) priority habitats. The purpose of data capture was to show the distribution of BAP priority habitats across Wales and allow statistics to be derived. Survey data initially collected between 1979 - 1997, however this dataset was compiled in February 2003. Derived from Phase 1 Terrestrial Habitat Survey and Other Datasets as required.

Derived from the combined results of the Lowland Habitat Survey of Wales and the Welsh Upland Vegetation Survey (Phase 1) undertaken by the Nature Conservancy Council and subsequently Countryside Council for Wales between 1979 and 1997 shown as 1 km squares, points or polygons. Data has been compiled as a database which provides information on habitat extent for individual one kilometre squares across the entire land area of Wales. Where appropriate, these data are supplemented by the findings of various plant community surveys. They comprise a strongly contrasting ecological series which cover of semi-natural habitat, as well as heavily urbanised lowland coastal districts with a diverse but often severely fragmented complement of priority habitats; most LBAP areas also include substantial tracts of lowland farmland where improved agricultural grasslands predominate and wildlife habitats are scattered and often marginalised. Equally striking are variations in the extent and distribution of individual priority habitats which are represented in the majority of the Welsh LBAP areas. The confidence in this dataset is good, however the source data is now over 10 years old. The data is considered archived and is superseded by the dataset Environment (Wales) Act Section 7 Terrestrial Habitats of Principle Importance (NRW_DS122418)
