Motivation[edit]

From its website: "NatureServe is the definitive source for information on rare and endangered species and ecosystems in the Americas. This online guide provides information on the 100,000 species and ecosystems that we track." "NatureServe Explorer provides conservation status, taxonomy, distribution, and life history information for more than 95,000 plants and animals in the United States and Canada, and more than 10,000 vegetation communities and ecological systems in the Western Hemisphere." This property will provide a valuable link to taxonomic and ecosystem descriptions for the Americas. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 06:52, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
