Outcome Indicator Framework Wildlife Indicator Development

Description

The Outcome Indicator Framework (OIF) is a comprehensive set of indicators describing environmental change that relates to the 10 goals within the 25 Year Environment Plan. The framework contains 66 indicators, arranged into 10 broad themes. The indicators are extensive; they cover natural capital assets (for example, land, freshwater, air and seas) and together they show the condition of these assets, the pressures acting upon them and the provision of services or benefits they provide. The main aim of this project is to further develop the existing indicators under the Outcome Indicator Framework as part of the 25 Year Environment Plan (25 YEP): - D1: Quantity, quality and connectivity of habitats - D7: Species supporting ecosystem functions - H1: Abatement of the number of invasive non-native species entering and establishing against a baseline - H2: Distribution of invasive non-native species and plant pests and diseases The objectives are to develop each of the indicators so that they are all at least at an 'interim' stage by the publication of the Outcome Indicator Framework in 2024 as part of the 25 YEP review.
