Ecological classification: HS = Habitat Specialist; WCS = Wider Countryside Species. Distribution and population trends: Red = meets criteria for High Priority status; Yellow = meets criteria for Medium Priority status. Note for some species timeline for calculating population trend is shorter than maximum 1990-2016. GB Red List status: CR = Critically Endangered; EN = Endangered; VU = Vulnerable; NT = Near Threatened. Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) status: F = full protection; P = partial protection (sale only). UK BAP and national legislative conservation status: X = listed; E? = probably extinct. BC UK Threat Priority: H = High Priority; M = Medium Priority; L = Low Priority; R = Research. BC UK Conservation Priority: A = Action urgent across UK range; B = Action necessary in parts of UK range; C = Action necessary in parts of UK range but less urgent. National Action Plan (NAP) Priority: H = High Priority; M = Medium Priority; L = Low Priority. Country Conservation Strategy (RCS) Threat Priority: H = High Priority; M = Medium Priority; L = Low Priority. Country Conservation Strategy (RCS) Conservation Priority: A = Action urgent across country; B = Action necessary in parts of country; C = Action less urgent nationally but may be necessary in some landscapes/sites.

Explanation of proposed changes: Dingy Skipper Short-term (2005-14) statistically significant BNM decline; UKBMS decline but non-siginificant; however under-recorded and reports of many colonisations. Wood White Only ever occurs as overspill from Forest of Dean; very little breeding habitat in Wales. Grayling Short-term statistically significant BNM decline; UKBMS decline but non-siginificant; coastal and brownfield habitats appear stable. Small Blue Long-term (1976-2014) statistically significant BNM increase; most areas in positive management; appears stable. Silver-studded Blue No trend data; most areas in positive management; appears stable. Brown Argus Short-term (2005-14) BNM/UKBMS trends stable. TABLE 2: WALES CONSERVATION STRATEGY PRIORITY

No conservation delivery: e.g. occasional recording of target species; target species monitored on few sites.

Limited conservation delivery: e.g. co-ordinated surveys undertaken enabling distribution of target species across the landscape to be mapped; co-ordinated monitoring undertaken across several sites, enabling assessment of target species abundance trends; management advice provided on some sites; recovery management implemented on some sites (e.g. work parties).

Full conservation delivery: e.g. co-ordinated monitoring programme established on many sites enabling assessment of target species abundance trend and effectiveness of conservation action; management advice given to landowners across whole site networks; co-ordinated programme of recovery management implemented across whole site networks; long-term sustainable management (e.g. agri-environment schemes) implemented across sites.
