A considerable number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are also involved in developing environmental indicators, both at the national and international level, which in some cases focus on agri-environmental issues, such as recent work by the European Centre for Nature Conservation (2000), Worldwatch Institute (see Brown et al., 1999), the World Resources Institute (1995) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (1995;2000).
