The article reports that the National Land & Water Resources Audit and its partners have made significant recent progress in building the basis of an enduring information system to report on the status of the natural resources and changes to the environment in Australia. The National Land & Water Resources Audit has played an important role in the consistent collection, collation and reporting of natural resources information, and has been documenting the status of information on native vegetation, invasive plants and animals, and aquatic ecosystem as well as coastal and marine ecosystem. Peter Wilson, data and information coordinator at the National Land & Water Resources Audit, said that future investment is required to continually improve the capacity to report on native vegetation.
