53% of National Nature Reserves (NNR) are currently estimated to be in favourable condition. Natural England do not have data which distinguishes between NNR units being ‘at’ and units that ‘exceed’ favourable condition.

NNR condition data is publicly available on Natural England’s Designated Sites View:
