There are many way in which SRMS data can be used by SRMS partners and others to benefit raptors, at a local, regional, national and even international level. Some of the main areas of work that benefit from SRMS data include:
- Production of long-term trends
- Development of effective conservation policy
- Assessment and reporting on the ‘health’ of raptor populations for European directives and national designated sites
- Planning of national surveys of raptors
- Production of responses to human developments and threats (conservation casework)
- Scientific studies of raptors
- Provision of information to help combat wildlife crime
