Songbirds and Sky Islands: Reviving Arizona's Unique Landscape

Islands in the sky might sound like a fantasy, but rising more than 6,000 feet above the desert floor, Arizona’s Sky Islands are a reality, supporting biodiversity rarely seen in the West. This pocket of isolated mountains is home to over 30 federally listed species living in both desert and alpine ecosystems. The landscape, also known for its vast heritage and recreational opportunities, is threatened by unprecedented drought and catastrophic wildfire.
Under threat from unprecedented drought and catastrophic wildfire, Arizona's Sky Islands Mountain range has a unique-even sacred-biocultural heritage. It serves as an example of resilience not only of the landscape, but of the people who have settled there. We're proud to invest in the improvement, protection and support of this rare ecosystem.
