Introduction
As North Carolinians we take great pride in our state and with good reason. From the forested mountains in the west to the marshes and dunes of the coast, North Carolina contains more natural diversity than all but a few of the other states. This diversity both comprises and is dependent on a wide range of native ecosystems varying from the grassy balds and spruce-fir forests of the mountains to the pocosins and swamps of the coastal plain. Although much of North Carolina's natural landscape has been converted to non-native ecosystems, some remnants of our native ecosystems remain. And it is in these remnants that some of the most rare plants and animals and the best examples of our natural communities of our state survive.
It is the Goal of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program to find these remnants, to document their location and condition, to study them and, when appropriate, to facilitate their protection. This report summarizes the methods, tools, and processes the Natural heritage Program uses to accomplish these goals and describes the progress we have made.

The Oklahoma Natural Heritage Inventory (ONHI) is continuing, computer- assisted biological inventory in the Oklahoma Biological Survey. The inventory exists to identify species and natural communities that are of significant or of special concern within the state, and to help establish protection prioities for them.
