Habitat condition: report card supplementing the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024
The Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. We have developed a framework of indicators to understand the current state of biodiversity and how it is changing over time. An indicator is a numerical value that gives insight into the current state, or a change in state, of biodiversity or ecological integrity.
The indicator framework uses the best available science for measuring biodiversity and ecological integrity. It reflects how we manage our landscapes and protect natural areas. The framework is arranged hierarchically by class, theme and family.
This report card presents results for 2 indicators in the habitat condition indicator family: ecological condition of terrestrial habitat and ecological capacity of terrestrial habitat. These indicators report on the ability of habitat to support native species and ecosystems.
