Conservation

"The history of life on Earth has been a history of interaction between living things and their surroundings. Only within the moment of time, represented by the present century, has one species- man- acquired significant power to alter the nature of his world." - Rachel Carson

​

This business was created to bring awareness to all the color & beauty of the desert. 20% of all known species are threatened or endangered with Earth's population of wild vertebrates declining by over 58% in a 40-year time frame! That's huge! The future of wildlife is a global responsibility. Conservation takes time & effort but each small step matters. So, why the desert? It's commonly a place thought of as dry & dead. It just so turns out, though, that our Sonoran Desert has the ability to be one of the most beautiful, colorful & vibrant places on earth with an abundance of life fighting to survive. Cacti, alone, are the fifth most endangered organism in the world. Without them, desert wildlife would lose a vital source of food and habitat. Desert demise can in time, lead to cascading effects on global climate, vegetation, all wildlife & even human populations.

​

Climate change, urbanization, mining, toxic waste, invasive species, etc have all impacted these plants & animal's ability to subsist. They need us, just as much as we need them. Take pride in knowing that every amount seen below was raised by a community of people with the world's conservation at heart. We are grateful to have you here & thank you for taking the time to learn about our beautiful Sonoran Desert.
