Sky Island Alliance

https://www.skyislandalliance.org/

Our mission is to protect and restore the biodiversity and natural heritage of the Sky Islands. As a people-powered, science-based organization, we use science, education, and advocacy to connect the binational landscapes, people, and wildlife of the Sky Islands for the benefit of all.

Nature and open space provides many benefits we often take for granted. We’re concerned about climate change and all that we stand to lose. Things like fresh water, clean air and even our food – and more than that, our need for rest, beauty and inspiration. Rising demand for water, energy and other natural resources is straining our natural ecosystems, and in turn, straining nature’s ability to provide what we all need and cherish, in a unique region that is recognized among the most biologically diverse places in the world. We are passionate about our work, so that our children today, and future generations tomorrow, can enjoy clean air, clear water and visit natural places in the Sky Islands with abundant wildlife. So together, we can thrive.Sky Island Alliance has worked to protect and restore the wild lands, wildlife, and waters that embody the legacy of this sacred landscape since 1991. We pioneered landscape-level conservation planning in the Sky Islands by integrating the science of conservation biology with grassroots organizing, volunteerism and landscape restoration in the mid-1990’s. Today Sky Island Alliance is a leader in connecting citizen science and conservation policy to achieve effective results throughout the Sky Islands of the Southwestern US and Northern Mexico.
