The Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection is an alliance of conservation and community organizations and groups, now representing over 60,000 people, that formed in February 1998. Through our Coalition, we work towards a common mission to protect and reconnect the biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona through science-based advocacy, education, and collaboration.

Our Coalition includes local and neighborhood associations such as the Tucson Mountains Association, regional groups like the Sky Island Alliance and Tucson Bird Alliance, national organizations such as the Sierra Club and Defenders of Wildlife, and organizations with international reach such as Bat Conservation International.  

Are you involved with an organization that you think would be a good fit for CSDP? Please contact our Co-Executive Director Kate Hotten at kate.hotten@sonorandesert.org or give her a call at (520) 388-9925. We’d love to hear from you!
