Species lists
Wildlife Online ( http://www.qld.gov.au/environment/plants-animals/species-list/ ) is an application that allows you to request species lists for:
-
protected areas (e.g. national parks, conservation areas)
-
forestry areas (state forests and timber reserves)
-
local government areas.
You can also customise your own search area by using coordinates—latitudes and longitudes.
The Species profile search https://environment.ehp.qld.gov.au/species-search/ ) facility also enables you to find species information such as species names, notes and images for Queensland’s native and naturalised plants and animals. You can download species records in a number of formats. Source : Web site QLD Gov
Queensland Government State of Environment Report
About the State of the Environment report
​
‘State of the Environment’ reporting is the internationally accepted method for assessing environmental performance. Like many other countries, Australia adopts the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) pressure-state-response approach to state of the environment reporting. Queensland also adopts this approach.
​
A State of the Environment report is produced every four years for Queensland. This is the sixth report and the first to be prepared in a web-based format. The new format allows users to interact within a web-based environment, interrogating spatial data and maps with regionally-specific interpretive text, tables, graphs and charts.
The data is harvested from a range of thematic sources, and compiled, interpreted and published through the Queensland Government open data portal.
