Not 100% with it, but that is what came up on Crossword Solver.

I put - SSSIs - Site of Special Scientific Interest (+ s for plural) (?)

I agree with that L-i k but the clue is for areas with high conservation value.

Aversley is a gem of an ancient woodland in England’s least-wooded county. Perched on a high, flat-topped ridge, this Site of Special Scientific Interest boasts stunning views, plentiful birdlife, a wealth of wildflowers and what is arguably the best bluebell display in Cambridgeshire.

[Mamyalynne]

A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Great Britain or an Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI) in the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland is a conservation designation denoting a protected area in the United Kingdom and Isle of Man.
