Sites of Special Scientific Interest

Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) are protected areas in the UK recognized for their unique wildlife, habitats, or geological features. Designated by conservation agencies, these sites are essential for preserving biodiversity and natural heritage. Activities that might harm these areas are restricted to ensure their protection. SSSIs can vary in size and significance, ranging from pristine natural landscapes to important archaeological sites. By safeguarding these locations, we help maintain ecological balance and support conservation efforts for future generations.
