[title size=”2″]Our Vision[/title]
The Next Generation Sonoran Desert Researchers is a network of individuals committed to the rich social and ecological landscape that spans the mainland Sonoran Desert, the Baja California Peninsula, the Gulf of California, and the US-Mexico borderlands. This interdisciplinary network addresses the research and conservation challenges of our time within this binational region. Dedicated to the spirit of the Sonoran Desert, N-Gen (1) catalyzes research and biocultural collaboration, (2) develops capacity for innovative transdisciplinary action, and (3) influences decision makers in both countries to promote a conservation ethic that matches the grandeur of the landscape.[/one_half]
