Economic Benefits of Protecting Natural Resources

"Residents of Pima County, Arizona, face a large array of decisions affecting the natural resources and landscapes of the Sonoran Desert. Most times, these decisions are cast as a choice between a healthy environment or a healthy economy -- we can have one or the other but not both.

A variety of initiatives have been brought forward in Pima County in the last years regarding conservation of Sonoran Desert lands. The most recent, and by far the most comprehensive, is the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, the planning process for which was begun in late 1998 and is ongoing as this report is completed."
