SUMMARY:Coffee Break: Searching for the Southwest Spring Firefly
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next virtual Coffee Break to learn more about the Southwest spring firefly\, a nocturnal species associated with permanent streams and marshy areas in the Sky Islands and surrounding foothills of southern Arizona and New Mexico. This rare and imperiled firefly is currently under review for Endangered Species Act listing. For this talk\, we’ll be joined by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Rachel Laura and Xerces Society biologist Candace Fallon. They’ll discuss this firefly’s life history and the threats it faces\, efforts to map its distribution\, current research and conservation needs\, and the ESA listing process.

SUMMARY:Time to Take Action: Protecting the Patagonia Mountains From the Hermosa Mine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our next virtual Coffee Break to learn more about what you can do to help protect southern Arizona’s Patagonia Mountains from destructive mining. A company called South32 has requested to expand a mine onto U.S. Forest Service land\, which will require the discharge of up to 6.5 million gallons of precious groundwater per day and lead to many other irreversible damages. In this talk\, SIA staff will share updates on the project\, and we’ll have a chance to hear from our local partners.
