New Mexico BioPark Society

The New Mexico BioPark Society (NMBPS) is the support organization for the ABQ BioPark Zoo, Aquarium, Botanic Garden, and Tingley Beach. Through captive breeding programs, habitat restoration initiatives, and seed banking, ABQ BioPark is committed to building sustainable conservation initiatives that benefit New Mexico and the world. These conservation efforts are supported by The Center for Species Survival New Mexico (CSS New Mexico) at NMPBS. Established in 2018, the CSS New Mexico supports strategic species conservation in partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC). Through the Assess-Plan-Act framework, the CSS New Mexico uses tools like the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species to produce critical baseline data that guides conservation planning and action for fishes, plants, and invertebrates.

IUCN SSC Firefly Specialist Group
