NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program habitat condition dashboard

This is the dashboard for the **habitat condition** indicator family of the **NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program**. This dashboard presents data for the indicators **ecological condition of terrestrial habitat** and **ecological carrying capacity of terrestrial habitat**.\r\n\r\n## Habitat condition indicator family\r\nThe **habitat condition** indicator family is an overall measure of the capacity of habitats to support the original complement of native species and ecosystems. The **ecological condition of terrestrial habitat** indicator estimates the quality of terrestrial habitat at each location based on its intactness and naturalness. The **ecological carrying capacity of terrestrial habitat** indicator considers ecological condition at each location, as well as how surrounding habitat loss and fragmentation affect the ability of ecosystems to function and species to forage, disperse or migrate.\r\n\r\n## NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program\r\nThe **NSW 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
