Conserving the natural diversity of Arkansas
The mission of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission is to identify and protect remaining high-quality natural communities and maintain information on the distribution and status of rare species that live within the state. As Arkansas continues to grow and develop, it is vital that we identify and protect the best examples of our remaining natural heritage. By focusing our attention upon those natural communities and species that need the most protection, we can help to ensure that Arkansas's unique natural diversity is not lost.
