| The Biodiversity Action Reporting System (BARS) is a web-based information system that supports the planning, monitoring and reporting requirements of national and local Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs). BARS is available free of charge to all members of the wider BAP partnership and enables everyone involved in BAP implementation, including LBAP partnerships and Lead Partner organisations, to enter action plans and record progress towards targets and actions.
Using the BARS website users and members of the public are able to search the BARS database for information about what BAP projects are being carried out in their area. It is also possible to access information on species/habitat targets, status, trends, losses, and causes of decline both at national and local levels. Security features ensure that confidential information (e.g. of the precise location of sites) is not available to unauthorised users or members of the public. |
