Results for individual indicators can be found in the online report ‘State of Environment Report, 2012’ which presents analysis and background information. More detailed data is also available via our StatsWales website which can be manipulated or downloaded.

Also, in order to ascertain how our users make use of the state of the environment indicators we are carrying out a 12 week consultation, starting on 25 July 2012. We would very much appreciate your comments and feedback.
