NHNM Free Online Data

Tracking Lists - NHNM tracks almost 600 plant and animal taxa (species and subspecies). This means we actively seek all information concerning the locations and status of their populations in New Mexico. Get more information about our tracking process or produce a list of our tracked species by taxonomic group.

Search Our Database - You may use the tools here to find information about NM species or produce lists of species within or grouped by county, ecoregion, or watershed. In each case, the output includes the taxonomic class and family, scientific and common name of the species along with their federal status under the Endangered Species Act, their New Mexico state status, and their global and state Heritage rank.
