The National Land and Water Resources Audit Advisory Council would like to sincerely thank those who have contributed to the successful preparation of Australian Native Vegetation Assessment 2001.

The National Vegetation Information System and its products are the outputs of a partnership across Commonwealth, State and Territory agencies with the common objective of improved vegetation management for Australia. The Audit has provided direction and a facilitation and coordination role.

Thanks to all listed below for their hard work and support in the development of this assessment, to all States and Territories providing their valuable data for the National Vegetation Information System and the expertise required to interpret and translate the data from the many sources.
