Programs
Each Sky Island is an isolated mountain range separated from other mountains by a vast distance and by surrounding lowlands of a dramatically different environment, resulting in a habitat island such as a forest surrounded by desert or grasslands. In southern Arizona and northern Mexico, many North American ecosystems blend to comprise the unique Sky Island region.
¿Qué es una Isla del Cielo?
Cada isla del cielo es una sierra aislada, separada de otras sierras por una gran distancia y por las tierras bajas circundantes de un entorno dramáticamente diferente, lo que resulta en una isla de hábitat como un bosque rodeado de desierto o praderas. En el sur de Arizona y el norte de México, muchos ecosistemas de América del Norte se mezclan para formar la región única de las Islas del Cielo.
