| User Guide for Wetland Assessment and Monitoring in Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration
Ecological integrity assessment (EIA) provides valuable information for documenting wetland conditions, and ecologically-based monitoring. The goal is to provide a succinct assessment of the composition, structure, processes, and connectivity of a wetland occurrence.
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.
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.
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.
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.
| Great Basin National Park: Natural Resource Condition Assessment
Results will assist park staff with objectives including prioritized management actions, Resource Stewardship Strategies and other management plans, support to interpretation of park resources and issues, and engagement in landscape-scaled partnership efforts.
| Biodiversity Information and Environmental Policy: Bolivia, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru
This project explores the degree to which environmental policies of the Andean countries of Bolivia, Colombia,
Ecuador, and Peru affect the generation, type, and use of biodiversity information.
In the few decades since the threat of climate change has been recognised, the conservation community has begun assessing vulnerability to climate change.
An investigation of the efficacy of using disaggregated global datasets to generate national-level indicators for monitoring biodiversity compared to using data generated nationally.
