Desert Survivors is an affiliation of desert lovers committed to experiencing, sharing and protecting desert wilderness wherever we find it. We recognize the places we love to explore will not remain wild unless we give others the opportunity to experience them as we do and unless we remain vigilant and active in our efforts to monitor and preserve them.

ISSUES PAGE UPDATE

Read our latest Issues Digest on the Issues page. It has links to a great website on the destructive effects of solar power collectors on fragile desert public lands. The Basin and Range Watch website is stunning in its beauty and powerful in its arguments for protecting the desert from corporate and government malfeasance and ecological carelessness and disregard. There’s also an analysis of the huge Ivanpah Valley solar plant that is proposed for 5.3 square miles of the desert the website illustrates.
