Protection <strong>and</strong> management of IPAs<br />
IPAs have been identified both on protected <strong>and</strong> currently unprotected l<strong>and</strong>.The follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />
table illustrates the number of IPAs that are currently <strong>in</strong> protected <strong>areas</strong>. However, there<br />
are many different levels of protection, <strong>and</strong> legal protection does not necessarily mean that<br />
the specific management requirements of <strong>plant</strong>s <strong>and</strong> habitats are addressed. Data are be<strong>in</strong>g<br />
collected on the level of management at IPAs <strong>and</strong> these will be used to prioritise any<br />
future action.Where appropriate IPAs that are not currently protected will be proposed as<br />
protected <strong>areas</strong> or proposed for <strong>in</strong>clusion <strong>in</strong> conservation management schemes.<br />
