Integrated Natural Resource Reporting

A key role for the National Land & Water Resources Audit (the Audit) was to report against indicators within the National NRM Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. While these indicators cover a range of natural resource management topics they are essentially theme-based. For us to be able to make sense of all this information we needed to know how it can be integrated to include the social and economic aspects of natural resource management.

The Audit facilitated the production of integrated natural resource condition reports which include biophysical, social and economic information.

Reporting activity covered the following areas:

• Biodiversity
• Rangelands
• Intensive land use zone of Australia
• Australian Agriculture—Signposts for Australian Agriculture
