CSDP Safe Passages

Share your wildlife sightings in Pima County and help track the movement of animals across the landscape, on or near roads, in backyards, open spaces, and throughout the county.

Healthy, connected wildlife linkages are a crucial piece of a healthy Sonoran Desert landscape. Unfortunately, urban development and roadway construction seriously threaten the ability of wildlife to freely move throughout the landscape today. This movement is necessary for finding food, mating, dispersing in search of home ranges, and maintaining genetic diversity. Preserving wildlife linkages in Pima County is one of the primary goals of the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection (CSDP). Through a variety of projects, the Coalition hopes to preserve connected open space within wildlife linkages and facilitate the construction of wildlife crossings at key points along Pima County’s major roadways. Your wildlife observations support this effort!

The Coalition works to create a community where: ecosystem health is protected; nature and healthy wild animal populations are valued; and residents, visitors, and future generations can all drink clean water, breathe clean air, and find wild places to roam.
