Partner Page
Idaho Fish and Wildlife Information System (IFWIS) is a member of NatureServe and houses the Idaho Natural Heritage data. The IFWIS Species Diversity Database management team does not receive 100% of its funding from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Instead, we depend on building relationships with federal and state agencies, private industry, and non-governmental organizations that become annual sustaining partners.
