Note:
The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) has recently provided more up to date data which underpins this indicator, enabling a more accurate estimate of the proportion of priority habitat in appropriate management in 2023 and 2024. As a result, we have temporarily withdrawn the indicator. When it is published alongside the 2025 update to the England Biodiversity Indicators, it will include a new data point for 2025, while the data for 2023 and 2024 will be updated as soon as possible, most likely in early 2026.
