Ecological Diversity in the Southwest
The Southwest is one of the most ecologically rich and diverse areas of the United States. In Arizona alone, ecosystems vary from Sonoran and Mojave desert habitats to alpine tundra atop the San Francisco Peaks. Similar topographic and ecologic diversity is exhibited throughout the region, including Utah. Along with its spectacular natural values, the southwest is also home to explosive population growth. This growth leads to increased competition for natural resources, especially water.
