It is important to know that native wildlife requires you to spend considerable time in attending to their needs and in the long run, it is too expensive. If this is your very first time to care for native wildlife, it is highly advised that you seek prope….
Horaayy..there are 6 comment(s) for me so far ;)
How can I, as just someone who cares, raise awareness of the plight of Arizona’s native wildlife?
Their habitat is being destroyed at an alarming pace. 300,000 people move to AZ each year & they all need homes = habitat destruction.
create a blog and write about it

Become a docent in the Coronado National Forest, the Saguaro National Park or another area where people often see the natural beauty of the area but don't necessarily understand or fully appreciate it's beauty and biodiversity. The state park system has gems like Pichaco Peak that could use your support, too.
Support organizations like The Nature Conservancy that help buy property adjoining wilderness or open areas. (Did I mention they might need volunteers?)
Good luck. We visited last year and it was gorgeous.
