EN26, EN27: Habitat change and restoration

Goals 2005-06
Performance 2005-06 and trends

No data is available for reporting on changes to natural habitats resulting from activities and operations, percentages of habitats protected or restored, and objectives, programmes and targets for protecting and restoring native ecosystems and species in degraded areas (EN26 and EN27).

Commentary

It is likely that AAD has some scientific information and data relating to this criterion: for example, on Macquarie Island, there are changes with respect to increasing rabbit populations that are having an impact on breeding colonies of birds and penguins. However, data and information that would address this criterion for all AAD activities and operations are not currently consolidated into a form for reporting purposes, and would require considerable research, investigation and time to acquire.
