Conservation IssuesBorder — Protect Arizona’s sensitive borderlands and wildlifeBorder traffic and Border Patrol activities attempting to deter undocumented immigration have resulted in severe damage to fragile lands along the entire border. Rare and unique species such as the Sonoran pronghorn, jaguar, ocelot, and many other species that inhabit the border region are threatened by these actions. Protecting these species and other wildlife encompasses a key Grand Canyon Chapter priority. Learn more about this issue and what you can do to help at our Border page Energy — Promote energy efficiency and renewable energy sources such as solar and windThe Grand Canyon Chapter works to reduce energy consumption through energy efficiency and conservation and to transition energy generation from coal, gas, and nuclear to clean renewable resources such as solar and wind.
