This publication provides a detailed statistical update of 24 indicators that give an overview of biodiversity in England. The publication measures progress in the delivery of goals and objectives outlined in Biodiversity 2020 published by the government in 2011.

Biodiversity is the variety of all life on Earth. It includes all species of animals and plants, and the natural systems that support them.
