Southwest and Rocky Mountains Region
The
Southwest and Rocky Mountain region possess some of the most beautiful
and awe-inspiring sights in the world. Once embracing prehistoric seaways,
the land now features desert and mountain ecosystems and communities,
its peoples dealing with local issues far removed from the urban priorities
of their distant coastal neighbors. Here people have a different experience
of space, although the creep of modern development and culture relentless
spreads from growing cities and towns. Fresh water is a major issue, as
well as concerns about economic security, health, education and other
elements central to quality of life. In this region we also find groups
and individuals committed to promoting sustainability practices, policies
and values among their neighbors and institutions.
