It also discusses special issues: global climate change, human influences, non-native species, and habitat assessments.
"The report compiles, for scientists, mangers, and the lay public, information on many species and the ecosystems on which they depend. As a first step toward a consistent, large-scale understanding of the status and trends of these resources, this report brings together for the first time a host of information about our nation's biological wealth, highlighting causes for both comfort and concern"-- Foreword.
