Article 12 Birds Directive Reporting 2013-2018 Dataset Series
Maps of breeding birds distributions mapped using a 10x10 km grid associated with Article 12 Birds Directive report on the implementation of national provisions for the period 2013 to 2018 and submitted in 2019.
The Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC) came into force in Ireland in 1981.
Article 12 of this directive requires Member States to report on the implementation of national provisions taken under this Directive including specific reporting on status and trends of bird species.
The first new format Article 12 report was submitted by member states in 2014 covering the four year period 2008 – 2012 inclusive. This spatial data relates to the second report in this format for the period 2013 to 2018.
IE_IrishGrid_Art12_NonSensitiveSpeciesBreedingDistributions.shp
This file contains information for 137 species. This spatial data should be read in conjunction with the individual species reports.
These are available through the European Environment Agency Eionet portal Art12 webtool:
Map data are not included for the following 4 sensitive species:
Haliaeetus albicilla White-tailed Eagle
Aquila chrysaetos Golden Eagle
Charadrius dubius Little Ringed Plover
Phalaropus lobatus Red-necked Phalarope
These are available only through a NPWS data request only (see https://www.npws.ie/maps-and-data/sensitive-data-access)

- Statement
-
Source data have been derived from a combination of field survey and other research methods. Species distributions at 10km resolution have been generated by intersecting the source data (point, line and polygon distributions) with the Ireland's 10km Irish Grid TM75. A merged multi-part file has been created from 137 individual 10km grid files.
