Environmental indicators provide information on the condition of our natural environment. They visually represent the status or trends of different aspects of B.C.'s environment. Some indicators also measure human activities which affect the condition of the environment and our responses to this change. Learn more about state of environment reporting here.

Environmental indicators form the basis for our publications and in the interim, indicators are updated on our website.
