The Gulf
of California, A World Apart is a magnificently produced
large format book. This work is profusely illustrated with some
of the finest nature photography in the world with chapters contributed
by renowned scientists and nature writers of Mexico and the United
States. The book was produced to promote support for the conservation
of the Gulf of California region and the surrounding Sonoran Desert
including southern Arizona.
The Sonoran Corridor consists of seven and half
million acres of protected lands that straddle the international
border in southwestern Arizona and adjacent northwestern Mexico.
Drylands Institute has supported the concept of a binational chain
of protected areas by providing scientific information not otherwise
available.
