NatureServe is a non-profit organization that provides high-quality scientific expertise for conservation. Our dynamic and impactful data, tools, and resources help guide conservation action where it’s needed most. We envision a world where decision-makers fully understand the importance of science in identifying and protecting our precious animals, plants, and ecosystems.

Each day, we are guided by a set of questions:

What exists? Where are they found? How are they doing? What actions will help? Are the actions working?

Mission: To provide the scientific basis for effective conservation action
