Building engagement and trust
We are building trust in biodiversity indicators by engaging the science and non-science communities in their development.
Goals and biodiversity of interest

Identifying the range of goals and biodiversity values of interest to different people and organisations involved in monitoring and reporting in New Zealand.
Barriers to data use

- Determining barriers to data sharing and awareness
- Identifying criteria used to decide whether data and other data users are trusted
- Highlighting potential mechanisms for overcoming these barriers
Measures useful and trusted

Confirming the measures developed for specific biodiversity features are useful and trusted. If not, determine how can the measures be improved
Indicators easily understood and communicated
