Reporting

A guide to designing and implementing performance reporting to increase the confidence of conservation investors

The Investment in Conservation and Natural Resource Management Project (or Increment) project was a research and development project managed by Bush Heritage Australia (BHA).

Monitoring Soil Condition

Regional integrated catchment condition reporting - final report (June 2007)

This project was designed to develop the tools and define a process required for reporting on regional scale catchment condition. The conceptual framework for reporting at the regional scale is the same as was used in the scoping study for the National Assessment of Catchment Condition (Chesson and Kingham 2005). This allowed for the efficient development of the framework, resulting in a consistent approach and reporting mechanism across scales.
