Biodiversity Habitat Index
The Biodiversity Habitat Index (BHI) estimates the effects of habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation on the expected retention of terrestrial biodiversity. CSIRO calculates the BHI from remote sensing data and other studies of ecological diversity. A score of 100 indicates that a country has experienced virtually no habitat loss or degradation, and a score of 0 indicates nearly complete habitat loss.
