Happy belated International Biodiversity Day! A new NatureServe map to share

The Carson Valley monkeyflower has been selected to represent Nevada on the Species At Risk Map, part of NatureServe’s 2019 Annual Report.

Nationally, plants are less likely than animals to receive legal protection, and fewer resources are directed toward their conservation and recovery but in our state, the Nevada Division of Forestry protects our critically endangered plant species through conservation easements, project mitigation, and research at the state nurseries.

As a member of the NatureServe network, the Nevada Division of Natural Heritage (NDNH) contributes biodiversity data that our partners, citizens, and land managers rely on to make sound conservation decisions. Visit NDNH’s website to learn more about Nevada’s unique flora and fauna.
