Biodiversity indicators for national use: experience and guidance. !§i Biodiversity Indicators for National Use EXAMPLES OF INDICATORS GENERATED BY NATIONAL TEAMS The BINU teams produced a great many indicators.

Final outputs will be available in the second half of 2005. Map-based indicators Previous work in Ecuador has resulted in a valuable series of ecosystem and land use maps. These are visually attractive and can be used in several different ways. For example, side-by-side presentation of maps of ecosystem distribution and land use intensity allow people to identify visually the ecosystems under pressure from intensification (Figs I and 2). Fig I: Potential distribution of native ecosystems in Ecuador Fig 2 Distribution of current land use (2001) in Ecuador. ^B Basque humcO ^| Bosque numedo amszonico munOabi jgg BoMue nurnedo OB la costs ^| Basque humedo mantano occidental IB Botque numedo montano omental â B Bosque sacc 33^ Bnsque ssco mantano onenli â I Bosque seeo occidental | Mangier | Pdremohumedo j Paramo seeo .'. j''.: -â â "!.-â (': i ':â â ".--. vegetation sees mterendioa.
