Species observations

Data derived from the Natural Values Atlas consisting primarily of point locations (Eastings and Northings) and associated attributes for flora and fauna in Tasmania. The data set contains information on more than 20,000 Tasmanian species. The web-based interface allows observations of Tasmanian plants and animals to be viewed, recorded and analysed. Users can search for observations of species by name, location, date, person, project, source, site, populations or groups such as plants, animals or threatened species. Habitat mapping is also available for a limited number of high priority fauna species. The NVA maintains species taxonomy and provides access to management documents such as listing statements and recovery plans. Additional attribute information is also stored within the NVA, including species values for conservation significance as well as project specific data. Natural Values Reports are available and include several natural resource management data sets such as threatened species, Geoconservation and TASVEG. The NVA also stores environmental management locations that include areas where activities to control, monitor, manage or maintain natural values have been undertaken. Examples include 1080 baits, traps, nest boxes and monitoring plots.
