Protecting all the watersheds that flow from the western slope of the Gila Bioregion is crucial to any conservation effort made for this unique and profoundly important landscape. These watersheds comprise a critical mass of the riparian habitat to be found in the Southwest. They support a broad spectrum of wildlife, including multiple threatened and endangered species of flora and fauna. Stanley King and Mike Hasson of Mogollon Concerned Citizens and Leia Barnett of Wild Earth Guardians will review the watersheds and the threats to them, the essential factors that make them invaluable, and what the conservation community and other concerned citizens can do to protect their future.
