BioMap
With
funding made available by the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs,
the Natural Heritage Program developed the BioMap to identify the areas
most in need of protection in order to protect the native biodiversity
of the Commonwealth. BioMap focuses primarily on state-listed rare species
and exemplary natural communities but also includes the full breadth
of the State's biological diversity.

The goal of the BioMap is to promote strategic land protection by producing a map showing areas, that if protected, would provide suitable habitat over the long term for the maximum number of Massachusetts' terrestrial and wetland plant and animal species and natural communities.
