This GIS dataset holds positive records from the National Hare Survey of Ireland 2006/2007. The survey was carried out for the National Parks and Wildlife Service in order to report on the current and historical status of hares and to formulate recommendations for monitoring. Data were also gathered for sightings of rabbits and foxes. Observations for these species and other non-targeted species are included in this dataset.
The survey report has been published as Irish Wildlife Manual No.30 on the NPWS website. The Irish hare is listed in Annex V of the EU Habitats Directive, and results of the survey were used in the Article 17 Conservation Status Assessments for the species.
