The mission, in part, of Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center is to work with others to assess the biotic resources of the Great Plains, to facilitate information sharing among agencies, organizations, and individuals, and to synthesize that information. To further that goal, the Center is striving to make information on the biotic resources of the Great Plains more widely available to decision-makers, resource managers, scientists, and the public. This Web site serves as a medium to provide that information.

Because of our research emphasis, many of the resources listed here stress information about resources in North Dakota and the Great Plains. However, many of the resources also pertain to the entire United States, as well as to Canada, Mexico, and occasionally other countries. We are continually looking for new resources to add to our site. If you have or know of material that you would like to see included, please contact us as indicated below.

There are three tags added to selected resources:

New! -- If you visit our site often, this tag will alert you to the newer resources on this page.
Update! -- This tag will alert you to resources that have recently been changed or revised.
Searchable -- This tag identifies databases that can be searched using an input form.

Contributions: If you have information that you feel is appropriate for this web site, and would like Northern Prairie to consider having it served, please feel free to contact:
