“Around 7.6m hectares are subject to habitat and wildlife management and other conservation work carried out as a result of shooting.”

What the figure measures
- The area of UK land where habitat management, wildlife management or other conservation work takes place because of shooting, in 2022.
- It measures where the work happens. It does not measure the results of that work, and the report does not say this land is managed only for wildlife.
Limits of the figure
- It is an estimate based on the survey behind the report.
- It describes 2022.
- The research was commissioned by shooting organisations.
