Overview
Arizona has some of the world’s most promising solar potential. The state also contains one of the West’s most unique ecosystems, the Sonoran Desert, where most of the solar energy potential is found. This proposal would fund the Sonoran Institute’s work to bring together representatives of the solar industry and conservationists in an effort to identify the solar energy development sites in the Sonoran Desert with the least environmental impacts. The proposal would also fund the Sonoran Institute’s work to gain broad and diverse support for the permanent protection of ecologically important desert lands.
