Fundamental data required to support National Monitoring and Evaluation indicator reporting

The National Land & Water Resources Audit (the Audit) has been developing a set of natural resource condition indicators as part of the agreed National Natural Resource Management Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. These indicators have identified a range of fundamental data and information needs, without which monitoring and reporting of the health of Australia’s natural resources will continue to be difficult. The Audit provides data, information and (more)...
