Together with our volunteers, member groups, and donors, we are a strong voice for the people and wildlife of the Sonoran Desert.
We are committed staff and volunteers and a coalition of 30 member groups, ranging from local to international non-profits, who seek to protect and restore the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona.
Through advocacy, education, and collaboration, we pro-actively protect and restore Sonoran Desert habitat and wildlife linkages and defend against threats from short-sighted development.
The Coalition’s mission is to protect the biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona through science-based advocacy, education, and collaboration.
We work to create a community where: ecosystem health is protected; nature and healthy wild animal populations are valued; and residents, visitors, and future generations can all drink clean water, breathe clean air, and find wild places to roam.
