UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Invertebrate Data for Wales

  • English
  • wel
  • All

This dataset is a collation of all confirmed occurrence records of UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority invertebrate species reported from Wales. The aim of the data was to collate information on UK BAP invertebrates in Wales and inform Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) partners. Data accuracy is reliant on original sources. Spatial references, dates and species identifications have been validated by Countryside Council for Wales (CCW's) invertebrate experts checking printed lists of records, and literature references have been added where possible.
