Assessment of Terrestrial Biodiversity 2002, Biodiversity Audit Data Entry System (BADES)

The Australian Terrestrial Biodiversity Assessment (NLWRA, 2002) is the first attempt to report on terrestrial biodiversity condition and trend across Australia aggregated from point and subregion or bioregion data. The assessment includes condition and trend of wetlands, riparian zones, threatened species and ecosystems and the processes that threaten various elements of biodiversity. The assessment also includes biodiversity conservation opportunities in protected area consolidation, threatened species and ecosystem management, and conservation across the wider landscape. This application includes a national database (bs_data.mdb) compiled from State and Territory data supplied to the National Land and Water Resources Audit, and a data entry tool (bs_gui.mdb) which allows data entry, editing and reporting. A database design specification document is also included.
