OUR DOCENTS AND VOLUNTEERS ASSIST GUESTS WITH WAYFINDING AND EDUCATION ABOUT OUR MISSION, COLLECTIONS, AND SONORAN DESERT SETTING. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | CONSERVATION AND SCIENCE PROGRAMS SAVING AQUATIC SPECIES: SPRINGS, STREAMS, AND RIVERS IN THE SONORAN DESERT HAVE ALL BEEN DECLINING IN RECENT YEARS DUE TO A DECADE-LONG DROUGHT AND DIVERSION OF WATER FOR HUMAN NEEDS. MANY SPECIES THAT LIVE IN OR AROUND THIS WATER ARE THREATENED OR ENDANGERED DUE TO LOSS OF HABITAT. THE MUSEUM WORKS WITH ITS PARTNERS, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES, TO HOLD, BREED AND SUPPLEMENT THE POPULATIONS OF THESE SPECIES IN THE WILD. IN 2024, ASDM CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONSERVATION OF RANID FROGS, THE MEXICAN GARTER SNAKE, THE SONOYTA MUD TURTLE, AND SEVERAL REGIONAL NATIVE FISH SPECIES. PROMOTING POLLINATORS: BEES ARE AMONG THE MOST ABUNDANT AND DIVERSE ANIMAL GROUPS IN THE SONORAN DESERT. AS PRIMARY POLLINATORS OF MANY DESERT PLANTS, BEES ARE ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THESE HABITATS. ARIZONA-SONORA DESERT MUSEUM SCIENTISTS ARE WORKING TO DOCUMENT, DESCRIBE AND UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF BEE DIVERSITY IN OUR REGION AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE AND HABITAT DISTURBANCE MAY ALTER THIS DISTRIBUTION IN THE FUTURE. THE MUSEUM CO-LEADS THE TUCSON BEE COLLABORATIVE (TUCSONBEECOLLABORATIVE.ORG) WHICH WORKS WITH HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO STUDY NATIVE BEES AND PROMOTE THEIR CONSERVATION. TO DATE, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED OVER 25,000 BEES TO GENUS AND ARE WORKING THROUGH THE IDENTIFICATION OF ALL SPECIMENS TO SPECIES. OUR MUSEUM VOLUNTEERS HAVE BECOME IDENTIFICATION EXPERTS AND ARE EXPANDING IDENTIFICATION KEYS. THEIR IDENTIFICATION HAS FOCUSED ON THE GENUS DIADASIA, OR CACTUS BEES, BECAUSE THEY ARE VITAL TO DESERT PLANT POLLINATION. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA INSECT COLLECTION TO BUILD THE MOST COMPLETE COLLECTION OF SONORAN DESERT BEES IN THE WORLD, WITH EACH SPECIES REPRESENTED BY A PHYSICAL SPECIMEN, ITS DNA BARCODE, PUBLISHED IN THE BARCODE OF LIFE DATABASE (BOLD), AND A HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE. ASDM HAS SENT 709 BEE SPECIMENS FOR DNA BARCODING, RESULTING IN 106 UNIQUE GENERA AND/OR SPECIES, REPRESENTING 142 UNIQUE TAXA. FOODS FROM THE PAST FOR THE FUTURE: ASDM HAS A LONG HISTORY OF TEACHING PEOPLE ABOUT THE "SONORAN SUPERMARKET" - THE BOUNTY OF THE DESERT THAT HAS SUSTAINED PEOPLE IN THIS REGION FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. CURRENT PROGRAMS FOCUS ON THE SAGUARO, PRICKLY PEAR, CHOLLA, MESQUITE AND AGAVE. ASDM IS A MAJOR PARTNER IN TUCSON'S MISSION GARDENS AND AGAVE HERITAGE FESTIVAL, AS WELL AS A COLLABORATIVE CLIMATE-SMART FOODS PROJECT WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, TUCSON CITY OF GASTRONOMY, LOCAL FIRST AZ AND LOCAL FARMERS. PRIMARY RESEARCH OBJECTIVES ARE CONSERVING THE WILD RELATIVES OF IMPORTANT CROPS AND EXPANDING THE ROLE OF DESERT-ADAPTED FOODS IN REGIONAL DIETS AS A PATH TOWARD FOOD SECURITY IN A HOTTER, DRIER CLIMATE. CURRENTLY WE ARE WORKING WITH FARMERS TO IDENTIFY CROPS AND VARIETIES BETTER ADAPTED TO DESERT CONDITIONS AND TO TEST CONSERVATION PRACTICES LIKE ALLEY CROPPING AND LOW-TILL. SAVING OUR SAGUAROS: TODAY, THE SURVIVAL OF THE SAGUARO, THE ICON OF THE SONORAN DESERT, IS THREATENED BY THE INVASIVE BUFFELGRASS. THE DESERT MUSEUM COORDINATES THE EFFORTS OF MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, STATE, AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS, PRIVATE CITIZENS, BUSINESSES, AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS TO FIGHT THIS THREAT. THE MUSEUM IS ALSO MONITORING THE IMPACTS OF BUFFELGRASS FIRES ON SAGUAROS, RESEARCHING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS TREATMENT METHODS, LEADING CITIZEN CONSERVATION GROUPS IN BUFFELGRASS PULLS, AND PROVIDING EXTENSIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. OUR FOCUS HAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE EMERGING INVASIVE SPECIES FUELING FIRE IN THE DESERT. AMONG THESE SPECIES, STINKNET IS CURRENTLY THE GREATEST THREAT. WINTER RAINS RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION OF STINKNET IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA LAST SPRING, OVERWHELMING THE LIMITED LOCAL INVASIVE SPECIES RESPONSE CAPACITY. THE DESERT MUSEUM SCIENCE STAFF STEPPED UP, REALLOCATING RESOURCES FROM PLANNED ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS IN MAPPING AND REMOVING AS MUCH STINKNET AS POSSIBLE BEFORE IT STARTED TO SET SEED IN MAY. MUSEUM STAFF LED 13 VOLUNTEER STINKNET PULLS, CREATED OUTREACH MATERIALS, AND TOOK PART IN A MULTI-AGENCY STINKNET WORKING GROUP WITH THE AIM OF IMPROVING COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION AMONG CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS AND AGENCIES IN THE GREATER TUCSON BASIN AREA. THESE EFFORTS CULMINATED WITH A DAY-LONG STINKNET WORKSHOP IN JUNE 2024 TO ASSESS LESSONS LEARNED AND DEVELOP AN IMPROVED STRATEGY FOR 2025.
