Scientists from TNC Arizona have been studying dry forests in Northern Arizona and the Western U.S. for two decades. Our research is informing strategic forest restoration by demonstrating how ecological thinning and prescribed burns can deliver significant benefits.

Scientists at TNC Arizona have been doing native grassland research for decades, and our research has informed management of these critical ecosystems.

Much of southern Arizona is desert habitat, including the iconic Sonoran Desert. View the work that TNC Arizona scientists have done on the management and conservation of these valuable ecosystems.

In Arizona, TNC scientists have studied the ecology, management, and conservation of rivers and the species that utilize them for decades. Our research is helping to understand where and when water is flowing, which is crucial to helping us assess a river system’s health; inform our water management decisions; and increase water availability throughout the state.

Riparian systems in Arizona are the lifeline for many wildlife species. Understanding the ecology and management of these systems is essential to ensuring their conservation.

Maps and Geographic Information System (GIS) data is an essential tool for TNC Arizona scientists. Geospatial analysis has been used to study conservation across multiple habitats and ecosystems in Arizona.

TNC Arizona often works at scales that cross ecosystem types and geographic boundaries. These resources represent large-scale assessments that TNC scientists have completed to advance conservation.
