A Vision for the Chihuahuan Desert The Chihuahuan Desert, shared by two nations, is one of the most biologically rich desert ecoregions in the world, alive with large mammals, birds, reptiles and an unmatched diversity of cactus species. The desert’s rivers, streams and springs are considered to be of global significance, home to fish species found nowhere else on earth. Our vision is a Chihuahuan Desert where governments, local communities, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, landowners, and other stakeholders are working together to ensure that the richness and diversity of wildlife, habitats, natural communities, and ecological processes of the Chihuahuan Desert are conserved and, where necessary,...

In 2005, the New Mexico Bureau of Land Management (BLM) launched the Restore New Mexico initiative with the goal of restoring disturbed lands on a landscape scale through an ambitious partnership approach. What began as a concept has become a widely-successful restoration and reclamation program involving numerous agencies, organizations, ranchers and industry groups. Landscape restoration in New Mexico has focused on controlling invasive brush species, improving riparian habitat, reducing woodland encroachment, and reclaiming abandoned oil and gas well pads. In many areas, historic overuse of the land has transformed fragile desert grasslands and open woodlands into virtual wastelands of creosote and mesquite,...

La regionalización implica la división de un territorio en áreas menores con características comunes y representa una herramienta metodológica básica en la planeación ambiental, pues permite el conocimiento de los recursos para su manejo adecuado. La importancia de regionalizaciones de tipo ambiental estriba en que se consideran análisis basados en ecosistemas, cuyo objetivo principal es incluir toda la heterogeneidad ecológica que prevalece dentro de un determinado espacio geográfico para, así, proteger hábitats y áreas con funciones ecológicas vitales para la biodiversidad, las cuales no hubiesen sido consideradas con otro tipo de análisis. En México han habido diferentes experiencias al respecto, dentro de las...

We combine climate and soil properties with a mechanistic soil water model to explain temporal fluctuations in perennial grass cover, quantify where and the degree to which incorporating soil water dynamics enhances our ability to understand temporal patterns, and explore the potential consequences of climate change by assessing future trajectories of important climate and soil water variables. Our analyses focused on long-term (20 to 56 years) perennial grass dynamics across the Colorado Plateau, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan Desert regions. We found that climate variability has negative effects on grass cover, and that precipitation subsidies that extend growing seasons are beneficial. Projections of water balance variables...

A bi-national team was convened in 1998 to compile and analyze biological and ecological data for the 55-million acre (22 million ha) Sonoran Desert Ecoregion, which comprises parts of Arizona, California, Sonora, and Baja, California. The objective of this project was to use a science-based approach to identify a network of Conservation Sites throughout the Ecoregion that, with proper management, would ensure the long-term persistence of the Ecoregion's biodiversity, including rare and common species, native vegetation communities, and the ecological processes needed to maintain these elements of biodiversity. The technical team convened to compile and analyze data included staff from The Nature Conservancy, Sonoran...

North American Bird Habitat Joint Ventures are responsible for providing science-based guidance to mitigate declines in wild bird populations through habitat protection, restoration and improvement. To guide these activities, the Rio Grande Joint Venture (RGJV) commissioned the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (RMBO) to develop conservation plans for five species of grassland birds. RMBO added the collection of habitat parameters to their grassland bird surveys conducted from 2009 to 2011. The addition of these data allowed RMBO to develop habitat-specific relationships to bird density for the Grassland Priority Conservation Areas (GPCA).
It was just over a year ago that National Wildlife Federation, South Dakota State University’s Department of Natural Resource Management, and the North Central Sun Grant Center started talking about putting on a conference that would address the growing concerns surrounding the preservation of America’s grasslands – one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. It is estimated that tallgrass prairies and savannas of the mid-western states have declined by as much as 99% as a result of habitat fragmentation, conversion to cropland, and undesirable habitat changes due to fire exclusion, improper grazing management, and use and spread of invasive and non-native plants, among other factors. The ecological and...
