Abstract This collection of files details the conservation designations of over 13,000 UK "taxa" that have been assigned some form of rarity, threat or legal status in Great Britain or the UK. It is a collation of many different "designation" lists including country-specific lists, and lists produced by national and International conventions or directives. The collection of files contains an Excel workbook, a guidance document detailing how to use the spreadsheet, and a document detailing the constituents lists included in the spreadsheet. These resources are available to download either separately or as a zipped file. The following designation types are included in the spreadsheet: Bern Convention (Appendices 1, 2 and 3); Bonn Convention – Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (Appendices 1 and 2, AEWA, ASCOBANS, EUROBATS); Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) UK priority species list; Birds Directive (Annexes 1, 2.1 and 2.2); Birds of Conservation Concern (Red/Amber list and not based on IUCN criteria); Convention on Migratory Species; EC CITES (Annexes A, B, C and D); Global Red list status (this includes red listings based on pre-1994, 1994 and 2001 IUCN guidelines); Habitats Directive (Annexes 2, 4 and 5); Nationally Rare/Scarce (not based on IUCN criteria); Nationally Scarce and Nationally Rare Species (also with an IUCN status); National Red Lists (this includes red listings based on pre-1994, 1994 and 2001 IUCN guidelines); OSPAR; Protection of Badgers Act 1992; Species of principal importance in England, Scotland, Wales and North Ireland (NERC section 41 and 42 lists, Scottish Biodiversity List and Northern Ireland Priority Species List); The Conservation (Nature Habitats) Regulations (NI) 1995 (Schedule 2, 3 and 4); The Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (Schedule 2, 4 and 5); The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (Schedule 1, 5 and 8); Wildlife (NI) Order 1985 (Schedule 1 part 1, Schedule 1 part 2, Schedule 5, Schedule 8 part 1, Schedule 8 part 2).

Work in progress. Deaths from falls in older people are increasing. This compares GBD estimates with ONS counts. Looks like a coding or step change in ONS around 2012. GBD gives higher estimates because it recodes deaths - smoother curve and higher estimates. Have embedded the GBD viz for falls deaths so can see the GBD model
