State of all known species: report card supplementing the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024
The Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends of biodiversity 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.
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 the results for 2 indicators in the state of all known species indicator family: extant area occupied and within-species genetic diversity. These indicators measure the status of remaining habitat and genetic diversity for all known species of vascular plants in New South Wales.
