Ecoregional Assessments
We have identified lands & waters critical to the conservation of biodiversity across western North America. These assessments help prioritize conservation efforts and evaluate activities that affect conservation values. Learn More
New Mexico Climate Change
We are assessing the ground impacts of climate change on New Mexico's biodiversity and identifying local level adaptation strartegies that can help build ecological resilience to ongoing climate change. Learn More
Southwest Forest Assessment
We have developed information on the status of National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico and tools to evaluate restoration strategies. Learn More

The Rangeland Ecological Assessment assesses and maps ecological condition and restoration opportunity in New Mexico to support science-based restoration in a regional and landscape context. Learn More
Jemez Mountains
In the United States and many other parts of the world, fires are behaving differently now than they have throughout history, largely as a result of human actions. An estimated 80% of U.S. forests and rangelands have altered fire dynamics. The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico is working with federal partners to restore ponderosa pine forests and fire dynamics in the Jemez Mountains.
