Targets

The Hampshire Biodiversity Partnership has set targets for the restoration and expansion of UK priority habitats in Hampshire.

These targets have been compiled for the Partnership by the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre. They are based on the best available data in 2008.

The Hampshire targets contribute to national and regional habitat targets to be delivered by 2015.

You can download a pdf version of this table which includes detailed footnotes on the target values: Hampshire Habitat Targets, May 2008

More information on habitat targets is available via the South East England Biodiversity Strategy.
