Environment and Rural Affairs Monitoring & Modelling Programme - ERAMMP Report-30: Analysis of National Monitoring Data in Wales for the State of Natural Resources Report 2020

The Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (GMEP, https://gmep.wales/) was at the forefront of the ecosystem approach to monitoring the impact of Pillar II schemes across the European Union - as recognised by the European Commission’s Monitoring and Evaluation Help Desk. GMEP also recruited a large sample of counterfactual “wider Wales” sites, thus enabling additional all Wales reporting. GMEP and other assimilated data represents a significant source of robust, timely and spatially relevant evidence which can contribute to SoNaRR. To facilitate use of GMEP data in SoNaRR, we present new analyses of national monitoring data which has been co-developed with SoNaRR technical leads at Natural Resources Wales (NRW).
