Deserts may seem barren but they host a number of species that are often highly specialized to their conditions. However, as these conditions change due to a warming climate and urbanization, wildlife professionals are grappling with conserving many wildlife species. In the Jan/Feb issue of The Wildlife Professional, we explore how some species are adapting to changes while others are facing more challenges in the unique deserts of the southwestern U.S.

Our special focus for this issue focuses on water conservation and conservation of wildlife associated with water.
