The Mission of Steppes to the Desert is a non commercial effort to educate people on the biodiversity of the Arizona and the surrounding areas in the Southwest United States and Mexico.  Our long term goal is to make people more excited to learn more, and be more impressed with the flora and fauna around them.  Our pragmatic goal is to make "voters"more informed. 
Arizona and much of the Southwest is often thought of a broad expanse of arid deserts with little to no life.  Although deserts abound, that is a poor misconception of the diversity of in Arizona.  In fact, Arizona had the third highest number of plants and animals of the 50 states.
