We collect all the information for Berkshire and Oxfordshire in one place. Our data empowers people to make informed, effective, and sustainable choices regarding:
- Land management and development: By understanding local wildlife populations, we can make sound decisions about how to manage and develop land while minimising environmental impact.
- Wildlife conservation: Knowing where different species are found helps us direct conservation efforts more effectively. Even recording common and widespread species contributes significantly to our understanding.
Why this is important
- Environmental insight: In a time of changing climate and policies, having a comprehensive picture of wildlife trends is essential. We can identify declines or increases in species populations and track changes in their distribution.
- Local impact: Armed with this knowledge, we can plan strategies to avoid losses of specific species in our region.
- Early warnings: Monitoring wildlife locations allows us to be forewarned about any shifts or alterations underway.
