Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, situated in Socorro, NM, is among the largest refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System within the contiguous United States. Boasting a convergence of four distinct biomes, the refuge supports a remarkable range of biological diversity.
As part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-managed system, the refuge is dedicated to wildlife conservation at its core, guiding all activities and offerings. From establishing the refuge's purpose to providing recreational opportunities and employing resource management strategies, conservation of local flora and fauna is paramount.
Noteworthy for the intersection of the Colorado Plateau Shrub Steppe, Great Plains Short Grass Prairie, Chihuahuan Desert, and Pinyon-Juniper Woodland, Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge offers a unique blend of habitats. This intersection provides a rich tapestry of species and opportunities for exploration and study.
