| Arizona's Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan at Risk |
| Some Arizona state lawmakers are renewing their efforts to rein in Pima County's award winning Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. Conservationists and "lobbyists from cities and counties rallied to beat back an attempt" to undermine the "cutting-edge" conservation plan. It seeks to "establish biological corridors and reserve areas" to channel development in the sprawling Tucson area away from the most ecologically sensitive areas. New draft legislation would prohibit the county from altering current agriculture uses for land such as grazing. |
