NSW Biodiversity Outlook Report: First assessment data packages

This landing page is the collection of links to data packages supporting the 2020 outlook report (first assessment) of the NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program . \r\n\r\n__This is not the latest NSW biodiversity outlook report.__ Up-to-date publications as well as links to their corresponding data packages can be found on the NSW biodiversity outlook report page.\r\n##NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program##\r\nThe Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends over time of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. The program was established by the _Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016_. We have developed a framework of indicators to help scientists, managers and policy-makers understand the current state of biodiversity, how it has changed from the past, and how it is likely to change in the future. \r\n##NSW biodiversity outlook report##\r\nThe NSW biodiversity outlook report is a summary of the state of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. It is based on rigorous science and has been peer reviewed by recognised experts. New reports are published from time to time as data become available and are analysed. Each report covers the set of indicators from the framework that have been developed and are ready for publication at that time. Case studies are used as auxiliary information to provide further insights.\r\n##Supplemental report cards##\r\nThe 2020 outlook report was supplemented by 2 separate report cards for new indicators developed after the publication of the outlook report. These report cards provided results for the indicators: __invasive species__ and __community appreciation of biodiversity__.\r\n##Data packages##\r\nEach data package consists of tabular results and raw output such as spatial layers. Data packages provide supporting information for the NSW biodiversity outlook report and associated report cards . Data packages reflect results as presented in their corresponding report card and outlook report, creating an archive of the indicator results at the time of analysis. \r\n##Implementation reports\r\n Implementation reports describe in technical detail how indicators are calculated. In combination with the corresponding data package, indicator results can be replicated by anyone with sufficient technical expertise.\r\n##Indicators are continually improved##\r\nResults may differ between reports due to continual improvements in science and data. The Biodiversity Indicator Program is committed to continually improving indicators, so we update results where methods and data have improved since the results were previously reported. There can be lags between when changes in the state of biodiversity happen, when data become available for analysis, and when we publish results. Our process ensures that our science and research supports our decision making with the best available evidence at the time.

##新南威尔士州生物多样性指标计划##
生物多样性指标计划旨在报告新南威尔士州生物多样性及生态完整性的现状与长期趋势。该计划依据《2016年生物多样性保护法案》（Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016）设立。我们已构建一套指标框架，助力科学家、管理者及政策制定者理解生物多样性的当前状态、历史变化及未来潜在趋势。
##新南威尔士州生物多样性展望报告##
新南威尔士州生物多样性展望报告是该州生物多样性及生态完整性现状的专业摘要。报告基于严谨的科学研究，并经权威专家同行评审。随着数据的获取与分析，新报告将不定期发布。每份报告涵盖框架中已开发且届时可发布的指标集，案例研究作为辅助信息提供更深入的见解。
##补充报告卡##
2020年展望报告辅以两份独立报告卡，针对展望报告发布后开发的新指标。这些报告卡提供了以下指标结果：入侵物种（invasive species）及社区对生物多样性的认知（community appreciation of biodiversity）。
##数据包##
每个数据包包含表格结果及原始输出（如空间图层（spatial layers））。数据包为新南威尔士州生物多样性展望报告及相关报告卡提供支持信息，反映对应报告卡及展望报告中呈现的结果，形成分析时点指标结果的存档。
##实施报告##
实施报告（Implementation reports）详细描述指标计算的技术细节。结合对应数据包，具备足够技术专长的人员可复现指标结果。
##指标持续优化##
由于科学与数据的持续改进，不同报告结果可能存在差异。生物多样性指标计划致力于持续优化指标，因此若方法与数据较之前报告有所改进，我们将更新结果。生物多样性状态变化发生、数据可供分析及结果发布之间可能存在滞后，我们的流程确保科学研究以当时可得的最佳证据支持决策制定。
