Arizona-Sonora Desert Conservation Plan

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Conservation Plan (DCP) is a collaborative effort to protect and restore the natural ecosystem of the Arizona-Sonora Desert region, which spans parts of Arizona and Mexico. It aims to balance development with conservation by setting aside protected lands, restoring habitats, and promoting sustainable practices. The plan involves government agencies, conservation groups, and local communities working together to ensure healthy ecosystems, support wildlife, and maintain the area's unique landscape for future generations, while still allowing responsible growth and economic development.
