Harmonising indicators for reporting

We are delivering a harmonised system for combining data to report on biodiversity trends succinctly across spatial scales.

Critical goals and values reflected

Using case studies that reflect New Zealand's critical monitoring and reporting goals to illustrate:

What indicator sets look like and how they reflect biodiversity values
How to calculate biodiversity indicators and communicate them effectively

Relative value of different data sources

Identifying the relative values and complementary strengths of different New Zealand biodiversity data sources for indicator development

Comparable measures for different needs

Evaluating different methods for combining data from multiple sources to build individual biodiversity measures suitable for use at local to national scales

Aggregated indicators tailored for reporting

Identifying robust methods for aggregating information from multiple measures that are suitable for use at local to national scales depending on the reporting goals
