Providing
Information on Rare Organisms and Ecosystems |
The dramatic landscapes of New Mexico harbor
uniquely diverse plants and wildlife that are part of a natural heritage cherished
by the people of our state. Natural Heritage New Mexico serves the people of
New Mexico in their efforts to effectively manage and conserve these valuable
biological resources. We support high quality natural resource policy and decisions
by providing knowledge, information, and education to government and business
leaders, policy makers, natural resource managers, scientists, and private
citizens in New Mexico.
Our mission is to:
- Serve the information needs of decision-makers and the
public by sharing natural resource management expertise, providing access
to research results, and maintaining biological databases.
- Train students in ecological research methods, database development, and
technology use, and educate the citizens of New Mexico about the natural
biological resources of the state and the importance of science-based decision
making.
- Conduct basic and applied research on the native plants, animals and biological
communities of New Mexico.
We integrate these three activites in our work to sustain the natural
biological heritage of New Mexico for present and future generations.
Natural Heritage New Mexico is a division of the Museum
of Southwestern Biology at the University
of New Mexico.
