Knowing where species and ecosystems occur is fundamental to effective conservation action.
Documenting Species and Ecosystems
NatureServe Network scientists have spent countless hours in the field, where they have collectively found, documented, and mapped over a million places that support rare and imperiled species and ecosystems.
Predicting Species Habitat
NatureServe uses advanced ecological modeling techniques to develop predictions of where imperiled species are most likely to occur.
Ecosystem Mapping
NatureServe ecologists use their expertise in ecosystem classification to support mapping landscapes from local protected areas, to watersheds, ecoregions, states, nations, and continents.
