Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
The Coalition's mission is to protect the biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona through science-based advocacy, education, and collaboration.
-
We continued advocating for protected open spaces, both on public and private lands, including educating our supporters about open space protection efforts in Pima County through our website, e-newsletters, and print newsletter. We worked to re-connect our threatened open space preserves, facilitated the management and monitoring of the Oracle Road wildlife crossings, and consulted on plans for new wildlife crossings such as a future wildlife bridge over Interstate 10 connecting the Tucson and Tortolita Mountains. We advocated for the passage of the RTANext Plan. And we continued our collaboration with the Desert Fence Busters, which seeks to remove outdated barbed wire fencing that impedes wildlife movement across the landscape We strenuously opposed the proposed Interstate 11 route in Avra Valley west of the Tucson Mountains through ongoing meetings with community partners and community outreach. We improved and refined our Community Science projects and continued to provide an educational, enriching experience for our volunteers and paid interns. We maintained productive working relationships with local governments, state and federal agencies, community partners, and landowners to ensure we are poised to tackle new projects as they occur, including providing strategic input on local long-term planning processes. We improved and expanded our communications with our supporters, donors, volunteers, community partners, and member groups.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
