Organizations Filed Purposes: TO PROTECT THREATENED BIODIVERSITY, WE WORK WITH NEARLY 100 NETWORK ORGANIZATIONS & 1,000+ CONSERVATION SCIENTISTS TO COLLECT, AGGREGATE, AND STANDARDIZE BIODIVERSITY STATISTICS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, PROVIDING DATA TO THE PUBLIC FOR STATEGIC CONSERVATION EFFORTS.

NATURESERVE IS THE GLOBAL LEADER IN DATA, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY.

CONSERVATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES: NATURESERVE AND OUR NETWORK PARTNERS DEVELOP AND MANAGE THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE DATA FOR OVER 100,000 SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS, ANSWERING FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS ABOUTWHAT EXISTS, WHERE IT IS FOUND, AND HOW IT IS DOING. AS A CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION, WE MAINTAIN BIODIVERSITY DATA IN OUR BIOTICS 5 SOFTWARE, AND SHARE IT VIA A PUBLIC DATABASE, NATURESERVE EXPLORER, THE AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE FOR THE CONSERVATION STATUS OF PLANTS, ANIMALS, AND ECOSYSTEMS IN THE AMERICAS. WE DEVELOP CONSERVATION DATA AND TECHNOLOGY TO MAP AND TRACK RARE AND INVASIVE SPECIES; EXPEDITE THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS; MODEL HABITAT SUITABILITY; ASSESS VULNERABILITY OF SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS TO CLIMATE CHANGE; AND MEASURE PROGRESS TOWARD INTERNATIONAL BIODIVERSITY GOALS.

SCIENTIFIC DATA AND METHODS: NATURESERVE ESTABLISHES UNIFORM METHODS FOR COLLECTING FIELD DATA ABOUT BIODIVERSITY, MAPPING AND CLASSIFYING ECOSYSTEMS, ASSESSING THE CONDITION OF BOTH SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEMS, AND MANAGING THE INFORMATION PRODUCED. BY SPECIFYING STANDARDS FOR GATHERING AND MANAGING BIODIVERSITY DATA, THE EFFORTS OF INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS ARE COHESIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE. NATURESERVE'S METHODOLOGY IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS THE GOLD STANDARD IN BIODIVERSITY DATA MANAGEMENT, AND USERS RELY ON ITS SCIENTIFIC RIGOR AND CONSERVATION VALUE ACROSS GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES. NATURESERVE CONTINUES TO UPDATE AND REFINE OUR METHODOLOGY TO ADDRESS EMERGING ISSUES AND TO ACCURATELY INCORPORATE NEW SOURCES OF DATA INCLUDING CITIZEN SCIENCE AND REMOTELY SENSED OBSERVATIONS.

TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT & TECHNOLOGY DATA MANAGEMENT: BECAUSE NATURESERVE DATA IS WIDELY RELIED UPON AS THE BEST SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENTS, ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION IS CRITICAL. NATURESERVE USES OUR CLOUD BASED BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TO COORDINATE DATA AMONG OUR NETWORK, AND WE PROVIDE THE WORLD ACCESS TO THAT DATA THROUGH OUR DYNAMIC ONLINE DATABASE, NATURESERVE EXPLORER. WE ARE A TECHNOLOGY ORGANIZATION FOR NATURE THAT DEVELOPSSOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS TO GUIDE CONSERVATION EFFORTS, INVESTS IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS USED TO CONDUCT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS, TRACKS INVASIVE SPECIES, INTEGRATES CITIZEN SCIENCE DATA, AND TRACKS PROGRESS ON INTERNATIONAL BIODIVERSITY GOALS.
