In response to requests from data users, Scottish Natural Heritage added a new geographic dataset to the NBN Gateway in May. The SNH Natural Heritage Futures dataset consists of the boundaries of 21 zones, each with a distinctive character, which provide a strategic framework for the conservation, enhancement, understanding and use of Scotland’s natural heritage.
The zones are not intended as a classification of Scotland’s natural heritage, but rather as an operational tool to help SNH plan and execute its work. These boundaries can be used as a backdrop to view habitats and species distribution on the Interactive Map and as a filter for data searches on the NBN Gateway.
