About this publication
State of the Parks 2001
October 2002
The NPWS is developing a comprehensive State of the Parks reporting system. This system will improve the quality and quantity of information available to the public about:
- natural and cultural heritage
- the pressures faced by this heritage
- the role our parks system is playing in its conservation.
The inaugural report, State of the Parks 2001, represents the first stage in the development of this system. It provides a snapshot of conservation values at state level, and profiles a key set of 67 parks and reserves.
The State of the Parks system focuses on the lands managed by the NPWS. It will help the government meet commitments to ensure a comprehensive, adequate and representative protected area system. Importantly, the report also describes the basis for monitoring the state of the parks, and provides an explanation of how performance will be measured.
