Saguaro National Park’s two districts outside of Tucson, Arizona are characterized by water features, pine forests, and mountains to the east and protected desert vegetation to the west. Each side of the park is part of its own Important Bird Area—each a diverse ecosystem that supports the desert’s roadrunners, woodpeckers, and quails. As the climate changes, dozens of species could be extirpated from the park or face worsening conditions. These include Harris’s Hawk, Mexican Spotted Owl, and various wren species. It is recommended that park managers emphasize protecting existing habitats and reducing the effects of nonnative species.
