The Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. We have developed a framework of indicators to help scientists, managers and policymakers understand the current state of biodiversity and how it is likely to change in the future.

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.

There are 2 indicators in the habitat condition indicator family: ecological condition of terrestrial habitat and ecological capacity of terrestrial habitat. These indicators report on the ability of habitat to support native species and ecosystems.
