Founded in 1995, the H. John Heinz III Center for Science Economics and the Environment is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. and is best known for creating The State of the Nation’s Ecosystems reports.
The Heinz Center seeks to bring together representatives of business, government, the scientific community and the environment community to collaborate on the development of environmental policy and science-based solutions to environmental challenges to society. The State of the Nation's Ecosystems reports have become seminal references for U.S. policymakers and environmental managers on the conditions of and trends in U.S. ecosystems and habitats and the goods and services they provide.
The State of The Nation's Ecosystems was designed to provide an impartial and comprehensive understanding of the state of and trends in ecosystems. Created with the input of more than 300 scientific experts, the reports capture indicators in distinct ecosystems in the United States: coasts and oceans, farmlands, forests, freshwaters, grasslands and shrubs, and urban and suburban land-use types.
