What
is Biological Recording?
|
Biological
recording is the observation of the distribution
and abundance of animals and plants, the
type of habitat in which it is found and
the date it is seen.
While
recording
can be carried
out just
for personal
enjoyment,
it also adds
value and
promotes
the understanding
of the local
and national
distribution
of animals
and plants.
Observations
taken over
several years
can help
to determine
the changes
in distribution,
movements,
and whether
species numbers
are increasing
or decreasing. |
Aim:
Recording
acts as a health check for the environment.
This information helps local authorities,
planners, conservation organisations
and the public monitor the status of
species and habitats, and to plan conservation
measures that will help maintain and
improve a high quality of biodiversity
within the Tayside area.
We are particularly interested in encouraging
recording in the Tayside Biodiversity partnership
area of Angus, Dundee and Perth and Kinross.
