The New Mexico Landscapes Field Station is a place-based, globally connected, ecological research group that studies ecosystem and wildlife dynamics, working with land managers, community leaders, and Tribes to deliver solutions that foster the linked health of human and natural systems.
For over three decades, we have focused on shifting research needs from forest watershed health to wildlife diseases. Recent and ongoing changes in New Mexico ecosystems, in response to interactions among climate change, changing land use, fire and insect outbreaks, and the spread of wildlife diseases, may be a harbinger of future landscape responses elsewhere. Therefore, we contribute to scientific progress and informed management strategies locally and globally.
Our partnerships and co-location with land managers and universities provide us with opportunities to deliver our research through high-quality, science-based conversations. We work with our diverse partners to develop strategies and provide scientific expertise with the goal of adaptively sustaining or restoring vital ecosystem functions.
