Issues for which this is an indicator and why
Land - Societal responses - Responses to vegetation loss, carbon loss, species loss and species change
The wide range of pressures vegetation loss, carbon loss and species change places on the land need to be addressed collectively and holistically. The mix of practices intended to address this issue are generically described as “best practice”. This indicator should be a physical measure of all land affected by some form of societal response to agricultural degradation. It is a measure of the extent of the response, rather than the effectiveness of the response.
Other indicators for this issue:
- LD-28 Percentage and area of farms with planted trees
- LD-29 Area and proportion of forest under "best practice"
- LD-30 National area under plantation forestry
- LD-31 Success of programs to reduce carbon loss and increase carbon sequestration
- LD-38 Regions with investments having a major focus on salinity
- BD-06 Measures taken to conserve species or ecological communities on land that is not part of the national reserve system
- BD-17 Institutional response to loss of native vegetation
Biodiversity - Landscapes - Government action on landscape protection
Changes in area under best practice would be in part an indicator for government action on this issue.
Other indicators for this issue:
- BD-17 Institutional response to loss of native vegetation
