Mapped locations of rare and imperiled species and natural communities in CNHP’s database doubles in the past decade

CNHP strives to have the most comprehensive database of rare
and imperiled plants, animals and unique natural communities (referred to as
“elements of biodiversity” or “elements”) in Colorado. We compile data from our
own field surveys and county inventories, and collect data from key partners
and other professionals in the conservation community. It is nearly impossible
to survey the entire state, but as a collective, we can build a comprehensive
database that serves Colorado and ensures that the complex challenges of the
21st century are tackled thoughtfully and informatively.

See our latest tracking list here.
If you have data for any species we track, please complete a CNHP field form
and submit your data to our repository. You can download CNHP field forms or
fill them out online at the CNHP data submission page.

Thanks to Colorado’s conservation community, our database
has grown from 11,500 mapped locations of rare elements in 2000 to over 25,000
mapped locations in 2012. Help us double this again in the coming decade!
