About Sky Island Alliance
Our mission is to protect and restore the diversity of life and lands in the Sky Island region of the U.S. and Mexico. We’re working to ensure the Sky Islands are a place where nature thrives, open space and clean water are available to all, and people are connected to the region and its innate ability to enrich our lives.
Acerca de Sky Island Alliance
Nuestra misión es proteger y restaurar la diversidad de la vida y las tierras en la región de las Islas del Cielo.

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.
