Priority landscapes
Through research, climate modelling and analysis, we've identified the landscapes where we can make the biggest difference.

Reserve scorecards.
Monitoring helps us understand if we're on track and if we're achieving the intended impact on our Conservation Targets.
Evaluation is converting that monitoring data into knowledge and understanding.
As part of Step 4 of our Conservation Management Process (Analyse and Adapt), we analyse our monitoring data and evaluate the management of our reserves.
Every year we want to know:
- are we using the Plan?
- are we managing threats?
- are our strategies working?
Every 5-10 years we want to know:
Is the health of our conservation targets improving?
We measure progress at three levels:
- Outputs (Strategy implementation)
Are we implementing the plan as expected? - Outcomes (Threats)
Are we implementing our strategies effectively and are threats reducing? - Impacts (Targets)
Is target health improving?
Scorecards are an output of the evaluation process and present a summary of key findings including the overall change that's occurred to each target's health and its trend, and to each threat rating and its trend.
Poor | Fair | Good | Very good |
| Restoration difficult. Extirpation likely. | Outside acceptable range of variation - needs substantial human effort | Within acceptable range of variation. Requires human effort. | Desirable status. Requires little or no human effort. |

National results
Since we started managing land within our reserve network, we've maintained or improved the health of about 80% of our conservation targets.
