Compiles information on plants and animals that are already recognized by the federal government as imperiled species, species which have been extirpated, and a much larger number of species that are in decline either locally or nationally. Descriptions of status, location, distribution, and habitat needs are presented for each species proposed. The report also considers vegetative communities, their history of decline and modification, and recommends priorities for their protection.
To facilitate discussion about which species might be considered for protection, a series of in-depth interviews were conducted with members of the local science community who have expertise in the areas of birds, fish, invertebrates, mammals, plants and plant communities, and reptiles and amphibians.
Mary Della Bourgeois Interview (Grant); Arizona Observatories Package (D'Alli); Patti Hirahara & Hiroshi Nakano In-Studio Interview (Grant). Segments on sales tax-funded highway construction projects, astronomy (observatories and telescopes), and international trade.
