NatureServe focuses on providing scientific information and
services to help people understand and protect the natural world. Working with
an array of audiencesfrom environmental organizations to business groups,
and government agencies to private landownerswe support efforts directed
towards many important conservation issues. Biodiversity conservation is a complex
endeavor that must balance an understanding of the species and ecosystems that
make up our natural world, with a sensitivity to the needs and aspirations of
people.
In this section we provide an overview of a few current conservation
issues that demonstrate some of the challenges in achieving that balance. These
issues, ranging from endangered species protection to smarter approaches to
land use planning, form an essential backdrop for NatureServe's contributions
to the broader conservation community.
