Sky Islands

The natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert has always been a source of great inspiration for me as an Arizona native and artist. We have many unique species and natural wonders in this part of the country. One of my favorite areas to explore is the Sky Island region—isolated mountain ranges in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico. They have amazing biodiversity and support unique species not found anywhere else in the world. Habitat loss and fragmentation threaten these diverse, complex, and fragile regions. We can protect them for future generations by supporting responsible land use management and conservation efforts.
