The Desert Speaks - A wonderful show


I don't know if any of you have access to a locally produced [Tucson] show on PBS called "The Desert Speaks", but it's a wonderful show detailing every aspect of the Sonoran desert, which stretches all the way from northern mainland Mexico through the southwestern United States and to the tip of Baja.

One thing I like very much about the show is that it looks at these areas as one ecological and political supersystem while at the same time, breaking down all the unique biological subsystems within.

Tonight, on two different shows back to back, they did a profile on the whales and the distinct ecological zone (that provides La Paz with its water), the Sierra de La Laguna.

It's such a wonderful show that I highly recommend it to anybody with any interest in the ecological diversity of the Sonoran Desert and the Gulf of California and the effects of human pressures on those ecosystems. It's been on here for over ten years and I haven't tired of it yet. If you don't have it, you might want to ask your local PBS station to get it. It would be worth the try. - Stephanie
