Purpose

For use in the native vegetation permitted clearing regulations, the Strategic Biodiversity Value ranking is converted to a score that enables the strategic importance of different locations to be directly compared in numerical terms (e.g. such that a location with a score of 0.4 can be considered to be twice the strategic value of a location with a score of 0.2).

Excess Data

Continuous grid attributes of 0.01 - 1.00 where 1.0 is the highest Strategic biodiversity score and 0.01 is the lowest. 

Attribute Quality

Locations can be directly compared in numerical terms, for example, a location with a score of 0.4 can be considered to be twice the strategic value of a location with a score of 0.2.

Description

NaturePrint uses Zonation conservation planning software to identify the relative value of all locations combining information on many different types of biodiversity and aiming for efficient and effective spatial coverage. The analysis is bottom-up and iterative. The lowest rank (i.e. the place which is the most degraded and poorly located example of the most common biodiversity type) is chosen first, then the analysis is rerun to identify the next lowest contribution. This enables the progressive identification of the most consolidated spatial configuration whilst ensuring simultaneous and equitable consideration of good options for each individual value. The analysis places all locations on a continuous spectrum of relative overall value, but does not identify how much of this spectrum can or should be managed for conservation. Post Processing to create Strategic Biodiversity Score The Strategic Biodiversity Value ranking was squared to generate a score. Areas with low native vegetation context were removed.
