About the Heritage Data Management System

The Heritage Data Management System (HDMS) is part of a global network of more than 60 Natural Heritage Programs and Conservation Data Centers. HDMS information is available so Arizonans can make prudent decisions weighing future development, economic growth, and environmental integrity.

Using published and unpublished reports, data collected by the Department and stakeholders, review of scientific collections, collaboration with professionals, and many other sources of information, the HDMS program identifies wildlife, plant, and geographic areas of special concern in Arizona and consolidates the information about their status and distribution within the state.
