The figure shows the conservation status of agricultural versus 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.

The assessment is based on separate evaluations of four parameters which reflect the definition of Favourable Conservation Status given in the Habitats Directive. Those parameters are slightly different for species and habitats:
Species
- Range
- Population
- Suitable habitat
- Future prospects
