Trusted science and environmental information is essential for the integrity and success of the Nature Repair Market. The Ecological Knowledge System (EKS) helps meet this need. It is a partnership between the department and CSIRO.
The EKS supports the Nature Repair Market by:
- establishing a trusted, transparent and authoritative source of information, biodiversity assessment and forecasting capability
- making it easier for market participants to access the ecological information they need.
The EKS delivers information designed to:
- help proponents design projects that meet market requirements and to assess the benefits of their projects
- help buyers compare, and have confidence in, the benefits of projects
- inform the development of new methods and help methods meet the requirements of the Biodiversity Assessment Instrument (BAI).
