Over One-third of Biodiversity in the United States is at Risk of Disappearing

Leveraging nearly 50 years of intensive data collection by NatureServe and the NatureServe Network, Biodiversity in Focus: United States Edition reveals an alarming conclusion: 34% of plants and 40% of animals are at risk of extinction, and 41% of ecosystems are at risk of range-wide collapse. The analyses presented in the report inform how to effectively and efficiently use our financial resources to make the best conservation decisions.
