Data resource: BeeWalk bumblebee distributions for Great Britain 2008-2022
Records submitted to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust's BeeWalk project, a standardised transect-walking abundance-based survey focussed on bees in the genus Bombus (bumblebees) and Apis (honeybees), with occasional records of other bee species. No particular intentional bias in habitats surveyed. Records cover Great Britain, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man (but not Northern Ireland). North/mid Wales and north-west Scotland are comparatively under-represented in the dataset.

Data resource: Bern Convention - Appendix 1
The Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (the Bern Convention) was adopted in Bern, Switzerland in 1979, and came into force in 1982. The principal aims of the Convention are to ensure conservation and protection of wild plant and animal species and their natural habitats (listed in Appendices I and II of the Convention), to increase cooperation between contracting parties, and to ensure the protection of certain fauna species (listed in Appendix 3) imposing regulations on any exploitation. To this end the Convention imposes legal obligations on contracting parties, protecting over 500 wild plant species and more than 1000 wild animal species.

Data resource: Biodiversity Action Plan UK list of priority species
Source: UK list of Priority Habitats and Species The UK List of Priority Species and Habitats contains 1150 species and 65 habitats that have been listed as priorities for conservation action under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP). Starting in 2005, the old UK BAP priorities were reviewed and a new list called the UK List of Priority Species and Habitats was published in 2007 after adoption by the Governments of all four UK administrations. The species and habitats on this list help guide conservation actions being taken by the four countries in the UK as part of the UK contribution to the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Data resource: Biodiversity in Glasgow (BiG) Project
The Biodiversity in Glasgow (BiG) project was set up in 2007 by BTO Scotland, in partnership with Butterfly Conservation Scotland (BCS). The main aim was to record the birds, butterflies and habitats of Glasgow City green spaces using trained local volunteers. The information was used to identify the habitat features of importance to the bird and butterfly communities in Glasgow. The output of the project, therefore, not only informs the management for biodiversity within urban green spaces within Glasgow but within other Scottish cities as well.
