DID YOU KNOW…?

The Sonoran Desert is the most biodiverse desert in the world!  Let’s preserve it!

OUR MISSION: biodiversity education and preservation.

CNUW exists to bring students, faculty and the community together to learn about biodiversity and foster stewardship of the plants and animals in our environment. CNUW projects include educational programs, museum tours, field trips, camping, hiking, research, and restoration work (re-planting desert plants).

WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY?

Biodiversity means “the variety of life.” It refers to all the life forms we see around us.  You can think of biodiversity as genetic diversity, species diversity, or ecosystem diversity. The greater the number of species, the healthier the environment. So it’s very important to preserve biodiversity as much as possible and not lose species to extinction.  To learn more, read Professor Roy Barnes’ essay.
