Native Plant Conservation Campaign News: New Mexico Rare Plant Conservation
Strategy, Rare Plant Scorecard and Important Plant Areas Released for Earth
Day!

April 25, 2017

 

The New Mexico Rare Plant Conservation Strategy was released for Earth Day,
2017. The overall goal of the New Mexico Rare Plant Conservation Strategy is
to protect and conserve New Mexico's rare and endangered plant species and
their habitats through collaborative partnerships between stakeholders and
interested parties to aid and improve the conservation and management of
rare plant species and to avoid federal listing.

 

The Strategy is focused on 235 rare and endangered plant species in New
Mexico, including 109 species that only occur in New Mexico and nowhere else
in the world. 

 

The Strategy presents methods for identifying Important Plant Areas and for
developing a Rare Plant Scorecard. A Rare Plant Scorecard identifies those
plant species which are of greatest conservation concern and proposes plans
for their recovery (taxonomic studies, monitoring, surveys, habitat
protection, etc.).  The New Mexico Scorecard can be sorted in many ways to
help focusing the number of species a land manager might want to address.

 

The Strategy can be found online at
http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/SFD/ForestMgt/Endangered.html and at
http://nhnm.unm.edu/nm_rare_plant_conservation_strategy .

 

The Strategy is an integral part of the State of New Mexico's Energy,
Minerals, and Natural Resources Department, Forestry Division's Forest
Action Plan, which identifies natural resource conditions, needs and
opportunities across all land ownerships in the state and guides long-term
management.  The Division is a major partner in rare and endangered plant
conservation, recovery and research through its Endangered Plant Program. It
is the only program within the state government that focuses on rare plant
conservation and operates statewide.
