Data deficient habitats and species in support of the Scottish Biodiversity List
Habitats and species that were considered data deficient when assessed during review of the Scottish Biodiversity list – Updated 2025.
Updated: February 2026
During the development of the Scottish Biodiversity List a number of habitats and species were identified as data deficient and required further research to understand more clearly their impact to Scotland’s biodiversity. The habitats and species on this data deficient list are now incorporated into NatureScot's science and evidence needs.
