Where does Wild Sonora cover?

Coverage of Wild Sonora is not carefully defined. The intent is to cover Southern Arizona, Sonora, perhaps some of Baja Sur and Norte, and bits of Chihuahua and New Mexico.

The map at the left is a general reference to areas covered by Wild Sonora.

Bioregionally it is the Sonoran desert, Sinaloan thorn-scrub, Apacherian Highlands, some Chihuahuan desert and Grasslands, and the northern extents of tropical deciduous forest. It also encompasses higher elevation vegetation communities in the northern Sierra Madre Occidental and Madrean sky islands.

This is a highly diverse region on a planetary scale, harboring everything from extremely hot and dry sand dune ecosystems, through plains grasslands, mangrove estuaries, tropical drought-deciduous forest, to mixed-conifer and spruce/fir forest ecosystems.

There are political lines that bisect our region, but Wild Sonora generally tries to ignore them, except when their effects cannot be ignored, eg. border wall roads and infrastructure.
