ABSTRACT

The warm ocean currents bring substantial amounts of humidity that contributes to the notoriously wet climate that western parts of the UK experience. The high latitude and proximity to a large ocean to the west means that the United Kingdom experiences strong winds. The UK has commitments to meet international environmental goals, such as those in the Convention on Biological Diversity's Aichi Targets and the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. The biological recording has a long and rich history in UK. In UK and the Overseas Territories (OTs), although, there are numerous organizations who are recording, researching and are involved in conservation; we must not forget the majority of biological recording is by volunteers. The species of amphibian native to Britain are the great crested newt, smooth newt, palmate newt, common toad, natterjack toad, common frog and the pool frog.
