What is LOOC B?

The LOOC B tool offers a consistent standardised assessment of biodiversity indicators suitable for monitoring how biodiversity has changed over time and for anticipating the likely benefits of implementing different management strategies.

The user interface (this website) is intended to be an easy way to experience the tool’s functionality: to obtain biodiversity information for a specified area in Australia.

LOOC B allows you to quickly assess likely biodiversity change when:

  • Planning a carbon-farming action, or
  • Monitoring carbon-farming action, such as tree planting

The estimates are calculated using an advanced machine learning approach that is continuously improved as new data becomes available.
