Definition of Favourable Conservation Status for violet click beetle.
Abstract
This document outlines the concept of "favourable conservation status" for the violet click beetle (Limoniscus violaceus) in England. Favourable conservation status signifies a thriving population that is expected to continue thriving sustainably in the future. The definition hinges on three key parameters: natural range and distribution, population, and the quality of necessary habitat for long-term sustainability. The document includes sections detailing the species, the criteria for determining favourable conservation status, the evidence considered, and the resulting conclusions. However, it does not provide specific action plans, which will be presented separately in strategy documents. The guidance document "Defining Favourable Conservation Status in England" explains Natural England's approach to this concept in more detail.
