# Monitoring report The biodiversity credit calculation is automated and produces a report from observational data. The monitoring period and reports can be as frequently as 1 year, and as infrequently as 5 years and must include: * Changes in [Baseline assessment](/baseline-assessment.md) if applicable * Adaptive changes in [Implementation plan](/project-description/implementation-plan.md) * Any changes in project boundaries (such as scaling from a [Grouped project](/project-description/project-boundaries/grouped-projects.md)) with .kml format * Any changes in Stakeholders, or project governance * Secure upload of raw project data for indicator species observations * Comparison report of Crediting area vs Leakage management area in hectares for current vs prior years of project implementation ([Project areas](/project-description/project-boundaries/spatial-limits-of-the-bcp.md#project-area-data-layer)) * Ideally publically-validated indicator species observations (i.e. iNaturalist) The BCP shall include, in the monitoring report, a short qualitative summary of the activities carried out during each verification period and their effectiveness in terms of biodiversity conservation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://sexytrees.savimbo.com/monitoring-plan/monitoring-report.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
