This grant is offered to support a vital cross-border conservation initiative between six US-Mexico sister parks in Arizona, Sonora, and Baja California. Building on an existing wildlife partnership, this grant is for the purpose of enhancing the understanding and protection of shared montane springs, whose hydrology and ecological significance are currently underexplored. Through collaborative workshops, extensive field work, and detailed water chemistry analysis, the project will investigate spring dynamics, groundwater connections, and environmental threats. This effort aims to foster deeper engagement with international partners, collectively addressing critical conservation issues crucial for the long-term health of these shared bi-national resources.

| Description: | This project will build upon a wildlife conservation partnership established between 6 â¿¿sister parksâ¿ and other reserves in Arizona and Sonora and Baja California, Mexico that share similar ecological communities and resources. Montane springs occur in all the parks but their hydrology and biological value are poorly understood. We will seek to better understand the dynamics, groundwater connections, and threats to springs, while engaging with our international partners to address critical conservation issues through workshops, field work, and water chemistry analysis. |
