Species at Risk on  DOD Installations

Species at Risk on DOD Installations > Military Services

Given that each military service may implement unique strategies to address species biodiversity conservation, NatureServe assessed species at risk patterns among the five military services. In terms of total numbers, Army installations contain almost twice the number of at-risk species than Air Force and Navy installations, followed by lower numbers on Army Corps of Engineers and Marine Corps installations (Figure 4a). In terms of species at risk density, Army and Navy installations contain roughly three fold greater densities than found on Air Force, Marine Corps and Army Corps of Engineers installations (Figure 4b).
