Biodiversity In the first report of its kind, Biodiversity in Focus: United States Edition reveals an alarming conclusion: 34% of plants and 40% of animals are at risk of extinction, and 41% of ecosystems are at risk of range-wide collapse.
Key Points:
- In the first report of its kind, Biodiversity in Focus: United States Edition reveals an alarming conclusion: 34% of plants and 40% of animals are at risk of extinction, and 41% of ecosystems are at risk of range-wide collapse.
- “For fifty years, the NatureServe Network has been collecting the information necessary to understand biodiversity imperilment in the United States.
- They found that habitat degradation, invasive species, dams, and climate change are among the primary threats to biodiversity in the United States.
- We should be proud of the biodiversity in our backyard and should prioritize protecting what is here, now.”

The research revealed that efforts to conserve threatened mammals, birds, and amphibians are more likely than expected to co-benefit many threatened reptiles.
Key Points:
- The research revealed that efforts to conserve threatened mammals, birds, and amphibians are more likely than expected to co-benefit many threatened reptiles.
- This is good news because the extensive efforts to protect better known animals have also likely contributed to protecting many reptiles.
- A multifaceted action plan is necessary to protect these species, with all the evolutionary history they represent.
- More than 50% of the species are threatened and many of the Asian species are assessed as critically endangered.

Network NatureServe is the central coordinating organization for a network of over 60 programs throughout North America.
Key Points:
- NatureServe is the central coordinating organization for a network of over 60 programs throughout North America.
- To better understand local biodiversity conservation across North America, Sean embarked on the NatureServe Network Van Tour : an expedition that highlights how data are used to sustain biodiversity through technology, science, collaboration, and local expertise.
- Despite many challenges to conserving biodiversity, the Van Tour is documenting examples of how data collected by the NatureServe Network is used to help prioritize which plants, animals, and ecosystems to protect.
- On the Van Tour, I have witnessed firsthand the passion and dedication with which each program works, said Dr. OBrien.

Trillium The report, The Conservation Status of Trillium in North America, presents the analysis of 53 plant taxa using two different methodologies.
Key Points:
- The report, The Conservation Status of Trillium in North America, presents the analysis of 53 plant taxa using two different methodologies.
- Authors found that habitat loss, overpopulation of white-tailed deer, and habitat disturbance caused by feral pigs are the primary threats to North American Trillium.
- Several species of invasive plants that substantially alter native habitats were also identified as major threats to Trillium species.
- Knapp continued, This report represents work of the most knowledgeable experts and is the most comprehensive and detailed assessment of North America Trillium ever compiled.

Esri The Map of Biodiversity Importance leverages nearly 50 years of standardized biodiversity inventory, a national treasure of occurrence records for diverse imperiled species provided by the NatureServe Network.
Key Points:
- The Map of Biodiversity Importance leverages nearly 50 years of standardized biodiversity inventory, a national treasure of occurrence records for diverse imperiled species provided by the NatureServe Network.
- While traditional maps used for managing biodiversity are usually large-scale depictions of a species broad geographic range, the Map of Biodiversity Importance provides fine-scale maps of the most likely suitable habitat for thousands of imperiled species.
- The findings presented in the Map of Biodiversity Importance can be used to make conservation efforts more effective and to reduce conflict with other land uses.
- Our analysis shows that nearly 90% of Americans live within 30 miles of an area of high importance to biodiversity conservation.

NatureServe conservation status Among these thousands of plants, hundreds of them are exceedingly rare and urgently need protection to avoid extinction.
Key Points:
- Among these thousands of plants, hundreds of them are exceedingly rare and urgently need protection to avoid extinction.
- This collaboration will focus on identifying and evaluating the extinction risks and conservation status of single site endemics (plants that are known from only one site or restricted to an extremely small geographic area).
- This partnership, along with other resources, will allow botanists from NatureServe and their conservation partners to complete the assessments for approximately 150 plants considered to be at the greatest risk of extinction in the United States.
- The Garden informs visitors about the importance and fundamental value and diversity of plants, as well as their aesthetic, cultural, economic, therapeutic, and ecological significance.

The publication examines where implementation lacked in terms of national policy responses, financial resources, and review mechanisms.
Key Points:
- The publication examines where implementation lacked in terms of national policy responses, financial resources, and review mechanisms.
- This comprehensive analysis of global failure to meet international targets is crucial in reflecting upon and developing effective and adaptable biodiversity goals for the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), an international roadmap to slowing and ultimately reversing biodiversity loss.
- The publication analyzes and highlights specific problems surrounding implementation and provides practical solutions to enable national action to ensure future targets are met.
- The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which has set the global goals for the past three decades, has already released a first draft of the post-2020 GBF.
