Species record datasets originated by other recorders:

CPBRC hold species data obtained from a number of local recorders and organisations. These species include: protected species (including those protected under Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, Protection of Badgers Act 1992, Conservation Regulations 1994); species listed under Section 74 of Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000; and species with Biodiversity Action Plans - both local and national.

None of these data sets are comprehensive, though records are continually being added.
