How well are we protecting common plants and animals? Gap Analysis is the science of answering this question. Developing the data and tools to support that science is the mission of the USGS Gap Analysis Program (GAP). GAP works to ensure that common species – those that are not officially endangered – remain common by identifying those species and plant communities that are not adequately represented in existing conservation lands. Learn more about Gap Analysis >> We work with a wide range of government, academic, non-profit and private partners, providing them with essential data and analyses that they can use to protect the habitats on which the survival of common species depends.

The Central Arizona Grassland Conservation Strategy (CAGCS) was signed (2010) by three signatory agencies to the charter with complementary roles and responsibilities in managing historic grassland ecosystems and/or the wildlife species that inhabit them. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) management emphasis within the Agua Fria National Monument (AFNM) is to conserve and restore diverse habitats, vegetative communities and corridors of connectivity to sustain a wide range of native species. The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AGFD) hold the public trust responsibility of managing the wildlife that inhabits these ecosystems. This includes but is not limited to gathering and managing wildlife data, and providing...

La cuenca hidrográfica constituye la unidad territorial básica para la planeación y el manejo de los recursos naturales, su análisis requiere considerar interacciones sistémicas entre el medio biofísico, los modos de apropiación del territorio y las instituciones existentes. Para que el manejo integral de una cuenca se lleve a cabo, se requiere de la concurrencia y colaboración institucional, junto con el involucramiento de todos los actores que ocupan y utilizan sus recursos territoriales. Durante el desarrollo de un plan de manejo de una cuenca, la información disponible juega un papel trascendental. Por ello se puede afirmar que, el éxito y la contundencia del estudio y planeación de la cuenca, dependerán en...

Solar development has the potential to have widespread impacts on the California desert. Thus, it is important to have as much information as possible regarding the impacts of facilities and related infrastructure on the natural ecosystem and surrounding desert communities, how current policies are influencing development, and how the federal process is working on evaluating solar development applications. This research is detailed in this website. "Renewable Energy in the California Desert: Mechanisms for Evaluating Solar Development on Public Lands" is the result of sixteen months of research conducted by ten graduate students from the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environmen t through...

Chihuahuan Desert landscapes exemplify the ecological conditions, vulnerability, and management challenges in arid and semi-arid regions around the world. The goal of the Jornada Basin Long Term Ecological Research program (JRN LTER) established in 1982 is to understand and quantify the key factors and processes controlling ecosystem dynamics and patterns in Chihuahuan Desert landscapes. In collaboration with the Jornada Experimental Range (USDA ARS), studies initiated in 1915 have been incorporated into the JRN LTER program. Previous research focused on desertification, a state change from perennial grasslands to woody plant dominance that occurs globally. Based on findings from growing long-term databases, the...

La planificación para la conservación y el uso sustentable de la biodiversidad es un proceso continuo y dinámico que debe reflejar los cambios en el entorno socio-ambiental. La generación de estrategias y planes de acción representan instrumentos importantes para determinar metas y objetivos básicos (a corto, mediano y largo plazo), cursos de acción y asignación de recursos necesarios para alcanzar las metas previstas. En este sentido, la Estrategia Nacional sobre Biodiversidad de México (ENBM) constituye el conjunto de líneas estratégicas y acciones de participación de los sectores de la sociedad mexicana con el propósito de dar cumplimiento a los tres objetivos establecidos en el Convenio sobre Diversidad Biológica...

In the desert Southwest, changes in species composition, abundance, and distribution that may occur with climate change have significant implications for management of natural resources. These changes include: the extirpation or introduction of species, losses of biodiversity, shifts in structure and function of ecosystems and the services they provide, changes in wildlife habitat, invasion of non-native species, and changes in fire regimes. For planning, mitigation, and adaption, land managers would be greatly aided by knowing, in advance, which plant species, functional types, and assemblages will change in response to climate change so that monitoring and mitigation measures can focus on those resources. Our...
North American Bird Habitat Joint Ventures are responsible for providing science-based guidance to mitigate declines in wild bird populations through habitat protection, restoration and improvement. To guide these activities, the Rio Grande Joint Venture (RGJV) commissioned the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (RMBO) to develop conservation plans for five species of grassland birds. RMBO added the collection of habitat parameters to their grassland bird surveys conducted from 2009 to 2011. The addition of these data allowed RMBO to develop habitat-specific relationships to bird density for the Grassland Priority Conservation Areas (GPCA).

TNC developed a digital version for the whole of David E. Brown and Charles H. Lowe’s 1981 map. Previously, GIS representations of this map were only available for its Arizona and New Mexico portions. Users: please note the relatively coarse source scale of the paper map (1:1,000,000) when using this digital version for analyses. A layer file (.lyr) which mimics the familiar color scheme of the paper map is also available.
It was just over a year ago that National Wildlife Federation, South Dakota State University’s Department of Natural Resource Management, and the North Central Sun Grant Center started talking about putting on a conference that would address the growing concerns surrounding the preservation of America’s grasslands – one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. It is estimated that tallgrass prairies and savannas of the mid-western states have declined by as much as 99% as a result of habitat fragmentation, conversion to cropland, and undesirable habitat changes due to fire exclusion, improper grazing management, and use and spread of invasive and non-native plants, among other factors. The ecological and...

The borderlands of the Chihuahuan Desert, in the Big Bend-Río Bravo (BBRB; the Rio Grande is known as the Río Bravo in Mexico) region, have one of the highest levels of diversity and endemic species among the world’s arid and semiarid ecosystems. This large binational area, comprised by a total of eleven protected areas in Texas, Coahuila, and Chihuahua, offers a unique opportunity for conservation because of its isolation from human settlements and the unfragmented nature of its landscape. Connectivity of habitats in these borderlands is essential to maintain and restore biodiversity, particularly in the face of a changing climate. Private land conservation efforts underway in both countries add an important dimension...

Las áreas protegidas, se han reconocido por la importancia que tienen para la conservación de la biodiversidad. Sin embargo, en México como en muchos otros países, las primeras áreas protegidas que se decretaron con base en criterios estéticos, recreativos y de oportunidad. Actualmente, considerando que uno de los principales objetivos de estas áreas es la protección de la biodiversidad, es necesario revisar su funcionamiento, conectividad y representatividad, ya que aunque la red de áreas protegidas ha crecido en los últimos años y han aumentado las capacidades de gestión de las mismas, la pérdida de la diversidad biológica continúa. Con el objetivo de crear y mantener sistemas de áreas protegidas nacionales y...
