NatureServe provides conservation status, taxonomic, and distribution information for over 50,000 plants, animals, and ecological communities in the United States and Canada. NatureServe represents a "snapshot" of dynamic data that are continually being refined by the input of hundreds of Natural Heritage scientists and collaborators into the Association for Biodiversity Information's central databases. NatureServe is updated from the central databases three times each year to reflect new data from refined geographic surveys, the latest taxonomic treatments, and any new conservation status assessments. Data for additional taxonomic groups can be expected with each update. You can easily search NatureServe to find: scientific and common names, conservation status, distribution maps, life histories, and conservation needs.
