Sky Island Alliance is a grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of the rich natural heritage of native species and habitats in the Sky Island region of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. We work with volunteers, scientists, land owners, public officials, and government agencies to establish protected areas, restore healthy landscapes, and promote public appreciation of the region's unique biological diversity.
“It was cold.
We were sitting
around a campfire.
We’d hiked all day; we were tired.
We were well fed. We were sharing
stories, and songs, and tequila.
We were photographers, writers, poets,
songwriters, scientists, naturalists, and
environmentalists. We were in the
Tumacacori Highlands of southern
Arizona. The firewood crackled,
the air shimmered…
One spring weekend, a group of artists and
conservationists gathered in the Coronado
National Forest to camp and hike, learn
and experience. The idea was to come
together, learn from and share with each
other, and then teach and share with others
the values of a special place in our own
backyard…
The idea became Art in Wilderness…”
