Identificación y Análisis de Fauna del sur de Arizona mediante el uso de cámaras remota
La utilización de cámaras remota ha sido un método muy importante para realizar proyectos de conservación de fauna. Este estudio de nuestro becario Miguel Enriquez se realizó utilizando fotos capturadas por las cámaras remota de Sky Island Alliance con el fin de conocer las especies presentes en el sur de Arizona y si estas se encuentran en alguna categoría de riesgo.

Enfoque Para Crear Paletas de Plantación Para Apoyar a los Polinizadores
Si bien las Islas del Cielo son conocidas por sus numerosas especies de polinizadores, ciertas poblaciones están disminuyendo debido a la pérdida de hábitat y las condiciones climáticas. En este artículo, los investigadores presentan un “enfoque de diseño de plantación” nativo para la restauración de polinizadores. El plan se enfoca en aumentar la diversidad del paisaje al complementar las plantas existentes con plantas que florecen durante varias estaciones, crecen en múltiples elevaciones, toleran altas temperaturas y se adaptan al fuego.

An Approach for Creating Site-Specific Planting Palettes to Support Pollinators in the Sky Islands
While the Sky Islands are known for their many pollinator species, certain populations are declining due to habitat loss and climate conditions. In this article, researchers introduce a native “planting palette design approach” to pollinator restoration in the Sky Islands. The plan focuses on increasing landscape diversity by supplementing existing plants with ones that bloom during various seasons, grow at multiple elevations, tolerate high temperatures, and adapt to fire, among other traits.

Wildlife Fencing Recommendations for Davidson Canyon at I-10
In 2002, Sky Island Alliance initiated a study for this important wildlife corridor just east of Tucson. Since then, we have deployed trained volunteers to conduct seasonal surveys along a 1.5-mile transect in both north and south Davidson Canyon. We have also added remote wildlife cameras at spring sites north and south of the highway. Results will be shared periodically as they become available.
