Water plays different roles in the desert. It appears when we least
expect it and hides when we want it most. Rain falls but never
reaches the ground, and dry washes abruptly become rivers. One
constant holds true: water enables life.
In "Desert Wetlands" a distinguished photographer and a
passionate naturalist document sites in the American Southwest and
Mexico that are gauges to the environment. The wetlands included
are Cuatro Cienegas Basin in Coahuila, Mexico, the San Pedro River
in Arizona, the Escalante River in Utah, the Bosque del Apache
National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, the playas and wetlands in
Arizona, the Mohave Desert in California, and the Big Bend National
Park in Texas.
Exploration of desert wetlandsawhether on foot, with
photographs, or in wordsainvolves vacillating between tremendous,
uplifting beauty and great, heartbreaking degradation. We offer the
images and words in your hands that you might grasp the beauty more
readily, and join the chorus of voices calling for an end to
despoiling of these treasurelands."aThomas Lowe Fleischner in
