This dataset identifies areas designated as Key Wildlife Sites within the United Kingdom. Key Wildlife Sites are locally recognised areas of substantive nature conservation value, identified outside statutory designations such as SSSIs, often used by local authorities and conservation bodies to inform planning decisions and habitat management. The dataset provides the geographic boundaries of these sites, published via data.gov.uk. It supports local biodiversity assessment and land-use planning where non-statutory but ecologically significant sites need to be taken into account alongside nationally protected areas.Dataset shows areas that are Key Wildlife Sites
