This report provides an update to our 2005 analysis of the conservation status of Canadian plants and animals in a global context, finding that 6.3 percent — 333 species and subspecies — are of global conservation concern. The assessment draws mostly on data from NatureServe and the network of Canadian conservation data centres. PublicationScientific ReportNatureServe Canada
Amur tigers and leopards are returning to China, indeed, but their long-term resettlement is not likely without active and timely conservation efforts on landscape and regional scales.PublicationJournal ArticleLandscape Ecology
Over the past year and a half, the NatureServe Network has accomplished amazing things. From rediscovering precious lost species, engaging citizen scientists, and shining a spotlight on the flora and fauna most in need, our expertise and “boots on the ground” data-gathering have a global impact because of the power of our Network.PublicationScientific ReportNatureServe 2016 Annual Report
The first comprehensive conservation status assessment focusing exclusively on the 45 species occurring in North America
north of Mexico. Although most North American bats have large range sizes and large populations, as of 2015,
18–31% of the species were at risk (categorized as having vulnerable, imperiled, or critically imperiled
NatureServe conservation statuses) and therefore among the most imperiled terrestrial vertebrates on the continent.PublicationJournal ArticleBiological Conservation
Ecological integrity assessment (EIA) provides valuable information for documenting wetland conditions, and ecologically-based monitoring. The goal is to provide a succinct assessment of the composition, structure, processes, and connectivity of a wetland occurrence.PublicationBookUser Guide for Wetland Assessment and Monitoring in Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration
Canada is home to an estimated 140,000 species, only about half of which have been scientifically identified. These plants, animals, lichens, and fungi belong to
a vast organic tapestry—the diversity of life at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. This biodiversity is vital for environmental, economic, and social health.PublicationScientific Report
