New Mexico Conservation Information System Data
|
The New Mexico Conservation Information System (NM CIS) has data on New Mexico's species and ecosystems of conservation concern. NM CIS gathers, maps, and distributes data to agencies, researchers, private industry, and the public to provide reliable information on New Mexico's rich biodiversity. NM CIS has been gathering sensitive species and ecosystems data since 1990. NM CIS is a collaboration between Natural Heritage New Mexico, New Mexico Department of Game & Fish, and other state and federal agencies. As a result of this collaboration our information has qudupled in the last decade (see chart at right).

This means we actively seek all information concerning the locations and status of their populations in New Mexico.
