Conclusion
We heard that a whole-site approach for protection and monitoring, including the collection of site-level details, in combination with the current approach focused on species monitoring and counting, would be a more effective approach. It would allow an understanding of site condition, taking in factors beyond a single feature and would develop a greater understanding of ecological resilience in response to stress such as climate change. It would also consider the multiple, overlapping functions delivered by individual sites.
