Indicators are a way of presenting and managing complex
information in a simple and clear manner. Using an

conservation at a strategic level. It is not the intention of
this document to provide a prescriptive list of indicators
to be used in every circumstance: the diverse nature of
biodiversity and of oil and gas operations makes this
an unrealistic expectation. Therefore, the emphasis
