Ecological appropriateness rate (percent)
Definition
Assessed sites whose latest filed determination was respected (a withheld site with no planting record; a cleared site planted, or handed over only; and likewise any site not cleared, unsuitable or deferred, with no planting record) divided by assessed sites, as a percentage. An impact of the safeguard on the ground: the share of the portfolio where the ecological judgement governed what happened.
purpose
To report the safeguard as a rate as well as a count, per place and site type, so that a programme is judged by whether its determinations held, not only by how many were made.
rationale
The withheld count says the safeguard was applied; the rate says it was obeyed, which is the avoided-harm claim the standard exists to make (ADR-0006).
