They are managed to conserve their habitats or to provide special opportunities for scientific study of the habitats communities and species represented within them. In addition they may be managed to provide public recreation that is compatible with their natural heritage interests. NNRs are declared by the statutory country conservation agencies under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. In some cases NNRs form part of for wholly within Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) or Special Protection Areas (SPAs). The purpose of this data capture was to assess the condition of SSSI/SAC/SPA features on NNRs in Wales. SAC features are generally monitored to the condition of the feature at the SPA level. Features on designated sites are to be assessed over a period of six years in a rolling monitoring cycle. The first cycle began in 1999, however SAC monitoring cycle began in 2001.
