Pima County - During the course of our work on the Habitat Conservation Priorities for Eastern Pima County we solicited input from community stakeholders and completed the plan in April of 2003. By July of 2003 both the Citizen's Steering Committee for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and the Pima County Board of Supervisors had adopted the plan to set priorities for implementing the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan.

Southeast Arizona - Growth patterns throughout southern Arizona, coupled with concerns of decreasing wildlife habitat, indicate that there is a growing need for protecting land with high biological diversity. Urban encroachment, subdividing rural parcels, and improvements to interstate highways threaten existing wildlife throughout rural southern Arizona.
