IBAs UK

Data Updated: Feb 2020 For commercial use of this dataset please visit https://www.ibat-alliance.org/ (note that IBAs are a subset of KBAs) The most important sites for birds are known as Important Bird Areas (IBAs). The IBA Programme of BirdLife International is a worldwide initiative aimed at identifying and protecting a network of sites, critical for the conservation of the world's birds. These sites were selected on the basis of the bird numbers and species complements they hold. IBAs are particularly important for species that congregate in large numbers, such as wintering and passage waterbirds and breeding seabirds. Many sites have also been identified for species of global, and European/EU conservation concern. This dataset contains IBA boundaries from Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. It is projected in WGS 1984. The dataset was created in 2012, and wasupdated in Feb 2020 to resolve a projection issue. The attributes in this dataset are the standard attributes from Birdlife International's Global IBA dataset. Not all the attributes are populated in this dataset.
