The Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program provides framework, funding, and publishing support to parks to aid in the synthesis and documentation of natural resource conditions. Condition assessment reports are a tool to describe selected park resources, and record a snapshot of their current condition, identify trends, and identify potential or current threats and stressors. Understanding the condition and trend of natural resources is key for parks and NPS planners to appropriately prioritize and allocate stewardship resources.
Located on the western edge of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Petroglyph National Monument protects hundreds of archeological sites and an estimated 25,000 petroglyph images carved by Native Americans and early Spanish settlers. The monument stretches along a 17-mile cliff of volcanic rock and is managed by the National Park Service and the City of Albuquerque. Various types of wildlife utilize this arid and narrow corridor, and visitors view the wildlife and petroglyphs by hiking three viewing trails.
