Priority Habitats

Certain habitats in Northern Ireland have been identified as under threat. These “priority habitats” consist of many of our favourite places and are of greatest concern. An action plan for each priority habitat has been created to ensure they are protected and, if possible, more are created to enable the survival of many of our favourite natural places.
