What We Do

NatureServe develops and provides the science-based information, tools, and expert analysis needed for conservation, land use planning, and natural resource management. NatureServe and its network of member programs are world leaders in developing and applying scientific standards and methods that serve as the foundation for a broad suite of products and services related to ecosystems and at-risk species. Our products and services include:

• detailed data about the location and conservation status of at-risk species and ecosystems.
• conservation services such as biodiversity inventory and mapping of public or privately-owned lands, environmental review of proposed development projects, and expert consultations related to conservation and land use issues.
• information technology and tools including NatureServe Vista, a decision-support system for conservation and land use planning, and Biotics 4, specialized software for managing biodiversity data.

Who We Serve

NatureServe's comprehensive biodiversity databases, reflecting three decades of field inventory and database development, are the foundation for the biodiversity information products and services that we offer to our customers, partners, and the public. This information is widely used by federal, state, and local governments, conservation groups, the scientific community, private landowners, developers, environmental consultants, and corporations. According to the New York Times, "the network's database on species and ecosystems is widely viewed as the most complete and detailed in the nation, and is the country's leading source of biological information for conservation planners, government agencies and land managers."
