Collaborating Agencies

EnviroData-NM was made possible by data and technical support provided by the following New Mexico state agencies:

The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMDGF) oversees the management of a large diversity of wildlife species, and their habitats, across our great state. In addition to the management of more common species, the Department also develops and implements recovery plans for wildlife species listed by the state as threatened or endangered, ensuring that the biodiversity of New Mexico is not lost. NMDGF has collaborated on the development of a number of conservation tools that make up the New Mexico Conservation Information System. These tools include: the New Mexico Environmental Review Tool (NMERT), Biota Information System of New Mexico (Bison-M), the Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool, and the State Wildlife Action Plan.
New Mexico State Forestry (NMSF) was created in 1957 to address the critical needs of our state’s forests and watersheds. In the early years, the Forestry Division focused on regulating timber sales and extinguishing wildfires. Today, the work has expanded to reducing the overgrown trees and brush that act as fuel for future wildfires, identifying invasive insects and epidemics of native insects that lead to mortality and disease, conserving rare plants through its Rare and Endangered Plants program, and promoting healthy watersheds to ensure clean and reliable water.
New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) promotes the stewardship of New Mexico's natural resources, from managing state parks and forests to overseeing energy production. The department supports sustainable practices to protect the environment while facilitating responsible resource development. It engages in numerous initiatives, including the promotion of renewable energy and the responsible use of minerals, and collaborates with various agencies to enhance conservation efforts statewide.
NHNM has worked closely with NMED – Surface Water Quality Bureau – New Mexico Wetlands Program to develop the New Mexico Rapid Assessment Method (NMRAM), a tool to evaluate quickly and efficiently the ecological condition of New Mexico’s riparian, slope, and playa wetlands.
The New Mexico State Land Office (NMSLO) manages nine million surface and 13 million mineral acres across every county. This land, referred to as state trust land, was allocated to New Mexico by the Federal Government under the Ferguson Act of 1898 and the Enabling Act of 1910. The mission of the agency is to use state trust land to raise revenue for New Mexico public schools, hospitals, colleges, and other public institutions. The entities are the beneficiaries of revenue raised when the Land Office does business on state trust land.
