Submit Data

We welcome submissions of sighting and survey data for at-risk plants and animals from knowledgeable individuals, in ANY FORMAT that meets our minimum data standards. Over the years, the contributions of numerous individuals and agencies have created a foundation of accurate and up-to-date information on Nevada's at-risk species, resulting in more appropriate conservation priorities, and more effective and timely conservation actions. For large data sets in electronic format, we can accept the original files in a number of formats including databases and most ESRI file types. If you have a large data set you would like to contribute, please contact us to arrange transfer of the data.

Survey123 Observation Form

The best way to submit discrete observations to us is through Survey123. Users can capture GPS data or draw points, lines, or polygons, and attach photos. See one of the 'Observations Instructions' below for more detailed instructions on using Suvey123.

Nevada Division of Natural Heritage uses two different Survey123 forms, please use whichever is more appropriate for your use case:

1. Botany-specific data: A newer observation form that is streamlined for botanical observations —
   • NDNH Botany Observations
   • NDNH Botany Observations Instructions
2.  For any type of data: An observation form designed for any type of organism with more inclusive fields —
   • NDNH Observation Form
   • NDNH Observation Form Instructions
