State Nature 2016 Results look up tables This document presents tables the results referred to in the report in an easy to access format. All data presented here feature in the report in the text or graphics. For full details the methods and how these measures were calculated, as well as caveats around interpretation, please refer to pages 74 77 the report. Details the datasets behind our analyses, our data sources and the species they covered, are given online at rspb.org.uk/statenature
TABLE 1. Categories : Each species was placed into one five trend categories based on annual percentage s, overall results reported include the breakdown by: (i) the declining and the increasing, and by (ii) the species that showed strong erate s, and those showing little, in each time period.

TABLE 3. Extinction Risk: We summarised the Great Britain Red Lists to present the overall percentage species assessed that are regarded as threatened with extinction from Great Britain (or Ireland) 1. Species considered to be Threatened with extinction include species that have been classified as Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable in the latest IUCN Red List assessments.

We interpret existing Great Britain Red Lists, based on those species occurring in that habitat or country, with the exception Northern Ireland, where we used all-ireland Red List assessments. 6
