Protected sites
As a means of safeguarding and protecting biodiversity, sites deemed to be important internationally, nationally and / or locally for their habitats and species have been designated under the auspices of a variety of wildlife legislation.
The document 'In Depth - Protected Sites' contains a summary of the different types of protected sites and the implications of designation. Further information on these sites and a full list of UK sites can be viewed on the JNCC website. Maps and further documentation relating to those occurring in Wales can be found on the Countryside Council for Wales website.
