SUMMARY:Coffee Break: History of Springs in a Northern Sky Island
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nSprings are natural features in the Sky Islands that provide life-saving water in a very dry place\, which has always made them incredibly valuable to people…who have in turn altered springs in ways that are often invisible today. Join us on March 31st at 10 am (Arizona time) to hear Don Swann from Saguaro National Park use historic documents and photos from the Rincon Mountains to explore the history of springs and their use by farmers\, ranchers\, fire fighters\, wilderness advocates\, and others.  The history of springs is not only interesting\, but relevant as we consider questions of restoration and the different values of water for us today.  \nDate & Time: Thursday\, March 31\, 2022 — 10:00 a.m. PDT and Arizona Time.

SUMMARY:Sky Island Coffee Break: Border Changes in Southeastern Arizona—A Pilot’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nHow have the borderlands of southeastern Arizona changed in recent years?  \nFrom road blading\, groundwater pumping\, and border wall construction to extreme changes in weather and monsoon flooding\, much has happened that has impacted not only people\, wildlife\, and water — but fragile desert landscapes too.  \nJoin us on the one-year anniversary of President Biden’s inauguration and proclamation to pause wall construction for a real bird’s-eye view of the state of the borderlands. In this Sky Island Coffee Break\, our Program Director Emily Burns will host Greg Bedinger\, a LightHawk conservation pilot and photographer who has flown along the border many times in recent years. You’ll hear Greg’s perspective on how the borderlands have changed with evolving border policy and see a photograph time series Greg took of the San Pedro River and the Huachuca Mountains.  \nFinally\, we will wrap up discussions with an update on the battle to stop the wall and the conditions we’re seeing along the border in Arizona today. If you need a refresher on what’s happening in the borderlands\, don’t miss this coffee break! Register today to save your spot or join us live on Facebook.  \nDate & Time: Thursday\, January 20 – 9:30 a.m. Arizona Time; 8:30 a.m. PST  \n¡Registrate aquí!\n¿Cómo han cambiado las zonas fronterizas del sureste de Arizona en los últimos años?  \nDesde la creación de carreteras\, el bombeo de aguas subterráneas y la construcción de muros fronterizos hasta los cambios extremos en el clima y las inundaciones por tormenta\, han provocado muchas cosas que han afectado no solo a las personas\, la vida silvestre y el agua\, sino también a los frágiles paisajes desérticos. \nÚnase a nosotros en el primer aniversario de la toma de posesión y proclamación del presidente Biden para detener la construcción del muro y tener una vista panorámica real del estado de las zonas fronterizas. En este Sky Island Coffee Break\, nuestra directora de programa\, Emily Burns\, recibirá a Greg Bedinger\, un piloto de conservación de LightHawk y fotógrafo que ha volado a lo largo de la frontera muchas veces en los últimos años. Escuchará la perspectiva de Greg sobre cómo han cambiado las zonas fronterizas con la evolución de la política fronteriza y verá una serie de fotografías que Greg tomó del río San Pedro y las montañas Huachuca. \nFinalmente\, concluiremos las discusiones con una actualización sobre la batalla para detener el muro y las condiciones que estamos viendo a lo largo de la frontera en Arizona hoy. Si necesita un repaso sobre lo que está sucediendo en las zonas fronterizas\, ¡no se pierda este Coffee Break! Regístrese hoy para guardar su lugar o únase a nosotros en vivo en Facebook. \nFecha y hora: jueves 20 de enero – 9:30 am\, hora de Arizona; 8:30 am PST

SUMMARY:Sky Island Coffee Break: How Partnering with Nature can Heal the Land of the Jaguar
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nOur guest presenter\, Randy Young (& dog!) from La Tierra del Jaguar.  \nIn places where the majestic jaguar lives\, people usually see conservation as an attempt to exclude humans and their infrastructure and livelihoods (aka systems) from the land. \nHowever\, these systems are now a permanent part of the landscape. Instead of removing them\, we must partner with nature to return to symbiotic relationships between jaguars and communities\, where all nature (people\, plants\, and animals) benefits from these regenerated lands\, clean waters\, and healthy skies. \nJoin us on Thursday\, November 18 at 9:30 a.m. AZ Time (8:30 a.m. PST) to hear from La Tierra del Jaguar\, a conservation nonprofit that “saves jaguars by teaching skills and empowering people to partner with nature and heal the land.” \nRandy Young\, Founder and Director of La Tierra del Jaguar\, will join us to discuss how partnering with nature can boost resiliency\, increase diversity\, and strengthen the communities that live in the land of the jaguar. \nLearn more about La Tierra del Jaguar before the event by visiting their website: latierradeljaguar.org

SUMMARY:Sky Island Coffee Break: Stories of Water\, Mountains\, and a Jaguar in The Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\n  \nOur coffee break presenter\, Ganesh Marin.  \nIn March 2021\, University of Arizona researcher Ganesh Marin discovered a jaguar while looking through the photos taken by a remote camera trap in northern Sonora. This jaguar\, a male named El Bonito\, is a juvenile — and his presence has been widely celebrated by environmentalists\, reminding us all of just how far this rare cat species is able to move and how close they are to the United States. \nJoin us Thursday\, October 7 at 9:30 a.m. PDT to hear more about El Bonito and learn about the ongoing jaguar research being done in northern Sonora. UA researcher Ganesh Marin\, our guest presenter\, will share the obstacles currently facing jaguars and other highly mobile species\, including the need to preserve the main corridors that connect wildlife populations between the U.S. and Mexico. \nMarin will also talk about how researchers are trying to solve conservation challenges in Sonora — as well as describe how exciting it was to discover a jaguar (and other species) on their camera traps.

DESCRIPTION:Register Here\nThe Rincon Mountains are amazing—so close to Tucson and yet part of a roadless wilderness that still holds many mysteries. Join Saguaro National Park (SNP) on Thursday\, February 11 at 9:30 a.m. MST to dig into these mysteries and learn just a little bit more about SNP’s work in the region. Register to attend the Zoom meeting or join live on Facebook.  \nHosted by Don Swann and Dan Beckman from Saguaro National Park\, this discussion will focus on SNP’s efforts to learn more about high elevation springs: finding previously undocumented springs and rare plants\, assessments\, history\, and where the water comes from. Don and Dan will also talk about the drying of historic springs and how SNP hopes to guide back-country users to new water sources.  \nThank you so much to the SNP springs team for your amazing work protecting Sky Island waters— Don Swann\, Dan Beckman\, Olivia Thorp\, and Nicole Gonzalez!
