A national connectivity index was developed as an instrument for monitoring and prioritising the maintenance and restoration of Australia’s heavily modified landscapes. Three fundamental ecologically important elements were identified for combination into a single index.

For the connectivity context at any location, the amount of remaining natural area, its condition, and spatial separation were assessed. Because connectivity applies across multiple scales, these measures were made within circular regions ranging from 500 metres to 32 kilometres in diameter. A single index of connectivity was developed by combining the three indices at all of the spatial scales.
