| Red List Status: | Near Threatened (Not Relevant) [NT(nr)] |
| D5 Status: | Included in the baseline Red List Index for England (Wilkins, Wilson & Brown, 2022) |
| Section 41 Status: | (not listed) |
| Taxa Included Synonym: | (none) |
| UKSI Recommended Name: | Nevesia sampaiana |
| UKSI Recommended Authority: | (Tav.) P.M. Jørg., L. Lindblom, Wedin & S. Ekman |

Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | Yes |
| Justification: | England population is very small and vulnerable - 2 trees at 1 site. |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | Yes |
| Justification: | Very small and vulnerable population - 2 trees at 1 site - ivy and shade are persistent threats. Targeted action may be necessary to avoid extinction. |
| Question 3: | At a landscape scale, would the species benefit from untargeted habitat management to increase habitat mosaics, structural diversity, or particular successional stages? |
| Response: | Yes |
| Justification: | Likely to benefit from diverse woodland structure, especially sheltered glades. |
Species Assessment
| Current step on the Species Recovery Curve (SRC): | 6. Recovery solutions trialled |
| Recovery potential/expectation: | Low - Extinction debt |
| National Monitoring Resource: | Opportunistic - insufficient |
| Species Comments: | Recovery efforts have been trialled and discussions had with site owners and managers (Plantlife) although needs following up. |
Key Actions
Key Action 1
Proposed Action: Monitor trial management to inform any further management, and to determine success of the trial.
Action targets: 3. National Monitoring Plan agreed and implemented
Action type: Targeted monitoring
Duration: 1 year
Scale of Implementation: 1 site
High priority sites: Holne Valley woods
Comments: Trial management undertaken in 2017 to address threats identified in survey by Sanderson (2017). The work needs monitoring to assess success/failure and identify any other threats and habitat management required.
Key Action 2
Proposed Action: Undertake habitat management identified by Key Action 1.
Action targets: 6. Recovery solutions trialled
Action type: Habitat management
Duration: 1 year
Scale of Implementation: 1 site
High priority sites: Holne Valley Woodlands
Comments:
Key Action 3
Proposed Action: Provide advice and support to enable long-term favourable management of the site for this species.
Action targets: 7. Best approach adopted at appropriate scales
Action type: Advice & support
Duration: >10 years
Scale of Implementation: 1 site
High priority sites: Holne Valley Woodlands
Comments: There is regular communication with the site owners and site managers, who are very interested and supportive, but as-yet no solution to securing long-term favourable management.
