Mojave National Preserve Desert Ecology World Deserts North American Deserts Protecting Deserts Home Deserts stir the human imagination. They occupy nearly one-seventh of the world's land surface area, but carry only four percent of the human population. The immense spaces of the desert have inspired the explorer, and breed a heartiness in the people who live there. Today, especially with new means of transportation, more people than ever are discovering this unique resource. What is a Desert?

Read about past Desert Institutes This year don’t miss it! Since 1970 the Institute of Desert Ecology has provided Tucson Audubon members, the Tucson community, and participants from around the nation the opportunity to learn about the Sonoran Desert from some of those who know and love it best. The enthusiastic and inspired teaching of our own local experts, the spectacular backdrop of the northwest face of the Catalina Mountains, the catered meals, and the camaraderie of all those involved combine to produce 4 days that participants have described as "life changing" and "an experience that will not be forgotten." This year the Institute will be held April 22-25, at Catalina State Park. The park is a popular birding area, and has a bird list of over 150 species. Institute faculty includes Ronnie Sidner, Ph.D. (Mammals), Carl Olson, M.S. (Entomology), Cecil Schwalbe, Ph.D. (Herpetology), Linwood Smith, Ph.D. (Ornithology and Botany), Carl Tomoff, Ph.D. (Ornithology and Botany) and Bob Scarborough (Geology). The program focuses on Sonoran Desert ecosystems with an emphasis on relationships between plants, animals and the physical characteristics of the desert rather than classification and identification. Days start early and optional activities such as owling, blacklighting for insects, and star talks extend into the evening hours.

Arava Institute: Environmental Studies - Sustainable Development Offers Israeli, Jordanian, Palestinian, Egyptian and overseas students an intensive handson academic program in desert ecology, science, policy, social and cultural studies. Includes a profile, syllabus, activism, alumni and faculty information. http://arava.org

The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies (AIES) is a regional center for environmental leadership. By encouraging environmental cooperation between peoples, the Arava Institute is working towards peace and sustainable development on a regional and global scale. The Institute is situated on Kibbutz Ketura in Israel's Arava Valley - a desert in the Syrio-African rift near the Jordanian and Egyptian borders and the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat. The Institute is home to academic programs, research and public involvement. Academic Programs The Arava Institute offers innovative environmental studies programs. Students explore a range of environmental issues from a regional, interdisciplinary perspective. Participants come from the Middle East as well as from North America and the rest of the world for study abroad in Israel. There are two options for programs: The One Semester or One-Year Program gives undergraduate or graduate students an opportunity for hands-on experience in the region together with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. The Master's Degree Special Programs and short courses such as our MASHAV Course Research: The Arava Institute’s mission goes beyond training and teaching to include applied research. Projects tend to be interdisciplinary, involving social and natural sciences that touch on a range of environmental issues. The research centers that are presently operational include:

Rincon Mountain District Visitor Center Tucson Mountain District Visitor Center Fee Information Click here to learn about current research at Saguaro National Park The life cycle of the giant saguaro is explained here. The staff at Saguaro National Park invite you to “Experience Your America” in a way that only the Sonoran Desert can offer. This unique desert is home to the most recognizable cactus in the world, the majestic saguaro. Visitors of all ages are fascinated and enchanted by these desert giants, especially their many interesting and complex interrelationships with other desert life. Saguaro cacti provide their sweet fruits to hungry desert animals. They also provide homes to a variety of birds, such as the Harris’ hawk, Gila woodpecker and the tiny elf owl. Yet, the saguaro requires other desert plants for its very survival. During the first few years of a very long life, a young saguaro needs the shade and protection of a nurse plant such as the palo verde tree. With an average life span of 150 years, a mature saguaro may grow to a height of 50 feet and weigh over 10 tons. While most visitors to Saguaro National Park choose a leisurely drive on one of our scenic loop drives, those eager for an escape from the rigors of city life often opt to explore the park on one of our many trails. With over 150 miles of hiking trails, ranging from flat and easy strolls in the Sonoran Desert to steep and rugged hikes into the Rincon Mountains, visitors of every ability have a place to get out of the car and explore.
