Conservation status of agricultural vs. other habitats

Conservation status is the overall assessment of the status of a habitat type or a species at the scale of a Member State’s biogeographical or marine region. The overall conservation status is assessed in four categories:

′Good′: where a habitat type or species is prospering (in both quality and extent/population) and with good prospects to continue to do so in the future.

′Poor′: Change in management or policy is required to return the habitat type or species to favourable status but there is no danger of extinction in the foreseeable future.

′Bad′: Serious danger of becoming extinct, at least regionally.

‘Unknown’: there is insufficient information available to allow an assessment.
