Today, though, our rivers are in trouble - and so is the wildlife that depends on them. Intensive farming, pressures from development and the effects of climate change have all taken their toll, and now only 17% of England’s rivers are in good health. This means that some of our most important plants, insects, animals and birds are at risk.That’s why we’ve started our most ambitious waterways project ever: to bring our rivers, streams, brooks and becks flowing back to life. We’re starting with some of the UK’s most precious rivers, ranging from the Derwent in Cumbria to the steep, narrow streams of Porlock Vale in Somerset. The work includes helping to slow the flow of water and alleviate flooding, repairing banks, creating new habitats and tackling the rise of invasive non-native species. We’ll also be working with local communities to help them rediscover and reconnect with their rivers – as spaces for leisure and activity, to socialise, or simply take a walk beside the water and clear their minds.Riverlands has two working stages:Stage 1 - Work has already startedStage 2 - Work is still under planning and fundraisingFor more information: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/riverlands-how-we-keep-our-rivers-flowing

The National Conservation Lands Database contains data on the location and nature of private lands protected and/or managed for conservation purposes in Australia. This data set was created as part of a collaborative project between the data contributors and the Australian Government. The project was governed by a Steering Committee with representatives from five of the nine data contributors listed below. These acronyms are used in the remainder of the data. The program that contributed the data is described in the Completeness section of the metadata.DEC: Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation DECCW: New South Wales Department of Environment, Climate Change and WaterDEH: South Australia Department of Environment and Heritage - now the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and Natural ResourcesDERM: Queensland Department of Environment and Resource ManagementDPIPWE: Tasmania Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and EnvironmentNCT: New South Wales Nature Conservation Trusts Covenanting program NRETAS: Northern Territory Department of Natural Resources, Environment, the Arts and Sport Covenanting ProgramNTA WA: The National Trust of Australia (WA) TFN: Trust For Nature (Victoria) This 2009 (first) version of the database includes the majority of high security mechanisms operating on private land in Australia, where conservation is the sole or key objective. The data set contains all agreements from the inception of the program through which they were delivered to (and including) those established on the 30 June 2009. The department intends to annually update the database.The database contains:- an NCLD_DESC table - that contains descriptions of each agreement- an NCLD_POLY feature class - that contains all the agreement polygons- a NCLD_LABEL layer - that contains one point for each agreement that fits within an agreement polygon- a NCLD_OVERLAP_POLY feature class -that contains all agreement polygons that overlapped higher level agreement polygons. This is explained below.The polygons in this data set represent the land subject to private land conservation agreements. Each agreement is uniquely identified by AGREMT_ID. There are two polygon layers associated with the database. The principle layer is called the NCLD_POLY feature class and contains polygons of the location of the agreements. Where there are overlapping agreements, the most secure agreement is represented in the polygon layer and those agreements that were of lower security and overlapped, have been removed from the agreement polygon layer and stored in the NCLD_OVERLAP_POLY feature class. The NCLD_POLY feature class and the NCLD_OVERLAP_POLY feature class attribute table that the AGREMT_ID and few other fields. The descriptive details of each agreement are stored in the NCLD_DESC table including the GIS_AREA for the convenience of calculating statistics. This text table can be linked to the polygon layers for GIS analysis. The attributes of the NCLD_DESC table are described in the Attribute Accuracy section of this metadata. Many of the attributes are the same as those used in the Collaborative Australian Protected Area Database .In order to facilitate topology checking and analysis the NCLD_POLY feature class does not contain overlapping polygons. Overlapping agreements do occur in practice, where there is more than one agreement legally still in place at a time. To capture this information the polygon data has been processed to represent the highest security agreement at any one location in the agreements polygon layer. Agreements that are completely displaced by a higher security agreement have the value in the OVERLAP field in the text table, a GIS_AREA of 0 (zero) and the entire polygon represented only in the NCLD_OVERLAP_POLY feature class. Agreements that are only partially displaced have the displaced portion of the polygon(s) in the NCLD_OVERLAP_POLY feature class. In the agreements text table the partially displaced agreements will have the reduced value in the OVERLAP field and a GIS_AREA is the area of the remaining polygon in the NCLD_POLY feature class.All the overlaps in this version of the database occurred within the DECCW agreements. A hierarchy of highest to lower level agreements was decided in collaboration with DECCW. TYPE = Conservation Agreements were agreed to have the highest protection value, being in perpetuity, registered on title and as the agreement contains a broader range of conservation measures. TYPE = Registered property agreements were ranked the middle security level as these were registered on title and the agreements had more restricted conservation scope. The lowest level agreements were considered to be TYPE = Wildlife Refuge, as these were not registered on title and of an indefinite term and contained the lowest level of restrictions on activities and conservation measures that had to be adopted as part of the agreement compared to the other two types.The way that agreements were mapped differed between authorities and agreement types. Some types only mapped the high conservation value portion of a land parcel whereas others mapped the entire title or property or nearly the whole title and subdivided into zones with one a conservation or protected zone. For example a WA Department of Environment and Conservation Covenant does not have any zones and only covers the conservation or protected area. In contrast, a Trust for Nature Victoria Conservation Covenant is subdivided into three zones; Modified Land, Domestic Area and Protected Area.Programs that map only the high conservation value portion of a land parcel are those that have AUTHORITY of DEC, NCT, DEH, DPIPWE (most agreements) and DECCW (where TYPE is Conservation Agreement or Registered Property Agreement). In the case of AUTHORITY = NTA WA AND TYPE = National Trust Covenants the entire property is mapped and subdivided into farmland and bushland zones. In the case AUTHORITY = DECCW AND TYPE = Wildlife Refuge , the whole title was mapped (the high conservation value area is delineated on a map filed with the agreement -but not mapped in their spatial database). DERM and VIC TFN map either the entire property or part of the property and use zones to differentiate between the conservation area and areas where less restricted activity can take place. Examples of DERM Nature Refuge zone types are conservation, domestic, infrastructure, agriculture, restoration. A few DPIPWE Conservation Covenants contain zones. This data set only maps the area of the whole agreement, and does not delineate zones. Therefore although the area of the conservation part of the agreement could be the same between a DEC agreement and a NTA WA agreement, the GIS_AREA will be higher for the NTA WA agreement that also includes farmland. GIS_AREA will be higher for programs that map a larger area in addition to the high conservation value area.NOTE: This item refers to a dataset with restricted access.

The …Show full descriptionAbstract The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement. Hunter receptor impact variable predictions for forested wetlands landscape class mapped to Assessment Units to facilitate mapping for report maps. IMPORTANT NOTE: lc_id codes used in this dataset are at variance with landscape class codes used elsewhere. For this dataset and its source lc_id = 1 is Forested Wetlands, lc_id 3.12 is Wet and Dry Sclerophyll Forests Dataset includes: HUN_RIV_quantiles_IMIA.csv: Source normalised file that was generated 04/04/2018 containing RIV predictions HUN_node_HRV.mdb: An MS access db used to extract and reformat the forested wetland RIV predictions to make them suitable for mapping. Note only the table HUN_RIV_quantiles_IMIA_20180404 and the queries lc_01_2042 & lc_03_12_2042 that use this table are relevant to this dataset. All other tables and queries are legacy items and should be ignored! lc_01_2042_pfc_diff_20180404.xls & lc_3_12_2042_pps_diff_20180404.xls: outputs from above mdb queries for use as attributes in spatial data RIM_prediction_AUs.gdb: File geodatabase containing Assessment Units with Forested Wetlands RIV predictions appended to the Attribute table. Feature class lc_01_2042_pfc_diff_20180404 as well as other reference spatial datasets. Purpose Created for the facilitation of producing report maps. Dataset History The source csv normalised file was ingested into an Access database. Queries were used to extract and cross-tabulate the Forested Wetlands (lc_id = 1) and Dry/Wet Sclerophyll Forests (lc_id 3.12) predicted change in foliage cover for 2042 (pfc_diff & pps_diff) respectively for the 5th, 50th and 95th percentiles. These were exported to respective .XLS files. The forested wetland XLS was joined to a spatial representation of the Hunter Asssessment Units using the auid as the join item and exported as a new AU spatial dataset with the forested wetlands RIV data for the three quantiles (F5, F50 & F95) included in the attribute table. A risk class was created and forested wetland AUs classified according to the following rules. "minimal risk" : F5 > -0.01 AND F50 >= 0 "more at risk" : F95 < 0 OR F5 < -0.05 "at some risk" : everything that is not "minimal risk" or "more at risk" Forested wetland AUs on the regulated sections of the Hunter River and Fal Brook (ie downstream of dams) and on the coastal sands in the Macquarie-Tuggerah were excluded from the risk classification and arbitrarily designated "Not represented by RIM".

Data created/ data last updated: 2018. Sustainable Shores was an RSPB project aimed at updating our knowledge of coastal habitat losses and habitat creation opportunities. It also reviewed the UK policy and funding context to make recommendations for action. Sustainable Shores built on work undertaken as part of the RSPB Seas of Change project between 1998 and 2002. It benefited from input and advice from across the RSPB and from discussions with regulators and other NGOs, including the National Trust. This dataset was created in 2018, and maps the indicative site grid references of the opportunities identified by the project.The following sources helped identify opportunity areas: The Seas of Change work from 1998-2002Shoreline management plans (SMP) where managed realignment is the preferred policy.Areas where Water Framework Directive (WFD) saltmarsh condition assessments show a need for improvement and where any recommended mitigation measures support habitat restoration works.Areas where SSSIs are in unfavourable condition because of coastal squeeze and/or inappropriate coastal management.Areas where SACs and SPAs have been identified as being at risk of coastal habitat loss through coastal squeeze, inappropriate coastal management and/or climate change factors. Areas where the constraints to converting defended land into intertidal habitat would be too great were excluded.
