The first comprehensive conservation status assessment focusing exclusively on the 45 species occurring in North America
north of Mexico. Although most North American bats have large range sizes and large populations, as of 2015,
18–31% of the species were at risk (categorized as having vulnerable, imperiled, or critically imperiled
NatureServe conservation statuses) and therefore among the most imperiled terrestrial vertebrates on the continent.PublicationJournal ArticleBiological Conservation
Over the past year and a half, the NatureServe Network has accomplished amazing things. From rediscovering precious lost species, engaging citizen scientists, and shining a spotlight on the flora and fauna most in need, our expertise and “boots on the ground” data-gathering have a global impact because of the power of our Network.PublicationScientific ReportNatureServe 2016 Annual Report
Amur tigers and leopards are returning to China, indeed, but their long-term resettlement is not likely without active and timely conservation efforts on landscape and regional scales.PublicationJournal ArticleLandscape Ecology
This report provides an update to our 2005 analysis of the conservation status of Canadian plants and animals in a global context, finding that 6.3 percent — 333 species and subspecies — are of global conservation concern. The assessment draws mostly on data from NatureServe and the network of Canadian conservation data centres. PublicationScientific ReportNatureServe Canada

Here we report the results of a global species assessment for the largest plant taxon evaluated to date under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Categories and Criteria, the iconic Cactaceae (cacti). We show that cacti are among the most threatened taxonomic groups assessed to date, with 31% of the 1,478 evaluated species threatened, demonstrating the high anthropogenic pressures on biodiversity in arid lands.PublicationJournal ArticleNature Plants
