The Malpai Borderlands Group is a grassroots, landowner-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to implementing ecosystem management on nearly one million acres of unfragmented open-space landscape in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Their mission is to restore and maintain the natural processes that create and protect a healthy, diverse community of human, plant, and animal life in the borderlands region, while sustaining traditional livelihoods such as profitable ranching for future generations. Located in a pyramid-shaped area encompassing the San Bernardino Valley, Peloncillo Mountains, Animas Valley, and Animas Mountains, the Malpai Borderlands area is characterized by its diverse terrain of mountains, canyons, valleys, and riparian corridors. With its unique biodiversity, including rare and endangered species, it is home to popular big-game animals like Coues deer, mule deer, pronghorn, and Desert Bighorn sheep. With a focus on conservation programs, land restoration, endangered species habitat protection, and range improvements, the Malpai Borderlands Group brings together ranchers, scientists, and key agencies to address the challenges facing this remarkable landscape.Generated from the website
