Woodland Bird Priority Areas England 2010

This data supported prioritisation of England Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) from 2010 in three regions - East Midlands, West Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber.

The data defines where applicants were eligible for grant aid in support of reversing the decline in woodland bird species in England.

· Woodland bird populations have been in steady decline since the 1970s with 33 species falling by 20% over the last 25 years

· Wild birds are considered a good indicator of the general state of the health of the wider environment

· The reasons for this decline are many but changes in woodland structure from long term under-management is thought to be a key factor.

Together with the RSPB, The Woodland Birds Project aimed to reverse this decline by providing financial support to landowners and managers to improve woodland habitat for birds.
These new and innovative grants included the Woodland Birds WIG80 which funded 80% of the cost of eligible operations, and the Reversing Woodland Bird Decline Additional Contribution for woodland creation.

本数据集支持英格兰林地补助计划（EWGS）林地改善补助金（WIG）自2010年在三个地区——东密德兰、西密德兰和约克郡和亨伯地区的优先级排序。该数据定义了申请人有权获得补助金以支持英格兰林地鸟类物种数量下降趋势的逆转。自20世纪70年代以来，林地鸟类种群数量持续下降，其中33个物种在过去25年内减少了20%。野鸟被视为衡量更广泛环境健康状况的良好指标。这一下降的原因众多，但长期管理不善导致的林地结构变化被认为是关键因素之一。与皇家鸟类保护协会（RSPB）共同发起的林地鸟类项目旨在通过为土地所有者和管理者提供资金支持，改善鸟类栖息地，以逆转这一下降趋势。这些新颖的补助金包括林地鸟类WIG80，该补助金资助了合格操作成本的80%，以及用于林地创建的逆转林地鸟类数量下降额外贡献。属性：描述符 = 优先区域的名称，归属声明：包含OS数据©皇家版权[以及数据库权利][年份]。
