FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS CON'T:	NATIVE AND HERITAGE FOODS ASDM HAS A LONG HISTORY OF TEACHING PEOPLE ABOUT THE "SONORAN SUPERMARKET" - THE BOUNTY OF THE DESERT THAT HAS SUSTAINED PEOPLE IN THIS REGION FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. CURRENT PROGRAMS FOCUS ON SAGUARO, PRICKLY PEAR, CHOLLA, MESQUITE AND AGAVE. ASDM IS A MAJOR PARTNER IN TUCSON'S MISSION GARDENS AND AGAVE HERITAGE FESTIVAL. ASDM SCIENTISTS AND EDUCATORS HAVE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE RESEARCH THAT LED TO TUCSON'S DESIGNATION AS A UNESCO WORLD CITY OF GASTRONOMY. A FOCUS OF THIS RESEARCH HAS BEEN HERITAGE FRUIT TREES. DURING THE COLONIAL PERIOD, SPANISH SETTLERS INTRODUCED NEW FOODS TO SONORAN DESERT GARDENS, INCLUDING POMEGRANATES, FIGS, PEARS, PEACHES AND QUINCES. OVER HUNDREDS OF YEARS, PEOPLE SELECTED THE TREES THAT WERE BEST ADAPTED TO THIS CLIMATE, PRODUCING THE MOST FRUIT WITH THE BEST TASTE. THESE TREES ARE NOW IN GARDENS AND ORCHARDS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT SONORA, MEXICO AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA. THE KINO HERITAGE FRUIT TREES PROJECT IS WORKING TO RESTORE THESE TREES TO HISTORICAL ORCHARDS, AND BRING THEIR DIVERSITY AND QUALITY TO PEOPLE IN THE REGION TODAY. SAVING OUR SAGUAROS TODAY, THE SURVIVAL OF THE SAGUARO, THE ICON OF THE SONORAN DESERT, IS THREATENED BY A GRASS! RAPID SPREAD OF BUFFELGRASS (CENCHRUS CILIARIS) AND THE CONVERSION OF FIRE-RESISTANT DESERT TO FLAMMABLE GRASSLAND RIVALS CLIMATE CHANGE AND DROUGHT AS OUR REGION'S MOST PRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. FIRES THAT KILL NATIVE PLANTS AND DAMAGE WILDLIFE HABITAT CREATE EVEN MORE SPACE FOR BUFFELGRASS, WHICH NOT ONLY SURVIVES, BUT THRIVES ON FIRE. EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF FIRE, BUFFELGRASS OUTCOMPETES NATIVE PLANTS FOR SPACE, SUNLIGHT, MOISTURE, AND NUTRIENTS, THREATENING THE LONG-TERM PERSISTENCE OF PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES, AS WELL AS ENTIRE NATURAL COMMUNITIES. BUFFELGRASS ALSO POSES A THREAT TO OUR QUALITY OF LIFE AND REGIONAL ECONOMY. ECOTOURISM IS A CORNERSTONE OF THE ECONOMY OF SOUTHERN ARIZONA, AND THE SAGUARO IS THE SYMBOL OF OUR COMMUNITY. WITHOUT CONTINUED EFFORT TO CONTROL THIS GRASS, THE SAGUAROS WE SEE TODAY IN THE TUCSON MOUNTAINS AND THE CATALINA FOOTHILLS WILL LIKELY BE THE LAST SAGUAROS TO STAND IN THESE LANDSCAPES. INDEPENDENT EFFORTS, BY THEMSELVES, CANNOT MANAGE THIS PROBLEM. OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN FORTUNATE IN THAT MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, STATE, AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS, PRIVATE CITIZENS, BUSINESSES, AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS CAME TOGETHER IN 2008, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SOUTHERN ARIZONA BUFFELGRASS COORDINATION CENTER (SABCC), TO FIGHT THIS THREAT. SABCC SUCCESSFULLY JUMPSTARTED THE FIGHT AGAINST BUFFELGRASS, RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS, MAPPING BUFFELGRASS ACROSS THE REGION, AND COORDINATING CONTROL EFFORTS ACROSS JURISDICTIONS. WHEN SABCC COMPLETED ITS MISSION TO CREATE THE ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY TO FIGHT THIS INVASION, THE ARIZONA-SONORA DESERT MUSEUM TOOK ON THE COORDINATING ROLE. THE MUSEUM IS ALSO MONITORING THE IMPACTS OF A BUFFELGRASS FIRES ON SAGUAROS, LEADING CITIZEN CONSERVATION GROUPS IN BUFFELGRASS PULLS, AND PROVIDING EXTENSIVE PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. NATURE-CULTURE-COMMUNITY: THE BIODIVERCITY PROJECT THE BIODIVERCITY PROJECT IS A NEW COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO INCREASE BIODIVERSITY IN URBAN SPACES BY PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY GARDENS, WATER HARVESTING AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS. ITS GOALS ARE TO: 1. CREATE HEALTHIER HABITAT FOR PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE BY A) ORGANIZING EVENTS TO REMOVE FLAMMABLE BUFFELGRASS AND OTHER INVASIVE GRASSES, B) WORKING WITH GARDENERS TO ESTABLISH POLLINATOR HABITAT IN AND AROUND COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL GARDENS, AND C) COLLABORATING ON OTHER PROJECTS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST 2.

ALL OF THE DEPARTMENT'S PROGRAMS PARTNER BROADLY ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE OF THE U.S. AND MEXICAN SCIENCE, EDUCATION, AND CONSERVATION COMMUNITY.MAJOR PROGRAM AREAS IN THE CONSERVATION EDUCATION AND SCIENCE DEPARTMENT:I. DOCENT PROGRAM: DOCENTS CONTRIBUTED 54,033 HOURS TO THE MUSEUM IN 2019DOCENTS ARE PART OF A MUSEUM-WIDE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, BUT DOCENTS DIFFER FROM OTHER VOLUNTEERS IN THE INTERPRETIVE NATURE OF THEIR WORK AND IN THE EXTENSIVE TRAINING SUCH WORK REQUIRES. ASDM DOCENTS ARE TRAINED VOLUNTEERS WHO INTERPRET THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE SONORAN DESERT REGION TO MUSEUM VISITORS AND TO GROUPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. IN DOING SO, THEY HELP THE MUSEUM FULFILL ITS CONSERVATION EDUCATION MISSION. DOCENTS ARE ADULTS OF ALL AGES, WALKS OF LIFE, AND EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUNDS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 203 DOCENTS VOLUNTEERING ONE DAY PER WEEK (OR MORE). A DOCENT'S PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY IS INTERPRETATION OF THE MUSEUM GROUNDS. SUCH INTERPRETATION CONSISTS OF CONDUCTING TOURS FOR GENERAL VISITORS AND PERFORMING INTERPRETIVE PROGRAMS OR SPECIAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS THEME TALKS, LIVE ANIMAL INTERPRETATIONS, OR BEING STATIONED AT AN EXHIBIT.THE MUSEUM REQUIRES A MINIMUM TWO-YEAR COMMITMENT TO THE DOCENT PROGRAM. TO MAINTAIN ACTIVE STATUS, DOCENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DONATE A MINIMUM OF 144 HOURS OF INTERPRETATION PER YEAR ON THE MUSEUM GROUNDS. AN EXTENSIVE 15-WEEK DOCENT TRAINING IS REQUIRED AND AFTER SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION, TRAINEES ARE WELCOMED INTO THE DOCENT CORPS. TRAINEES MEET AT THE MUSEUM FOR A THREE-HOUR CLASS, TWO WEEKDAY MORNINGS EACH WEEK FOR FIFTEEN WEEKS (SOME CLASSES ARE ALL DAY SESSIONS). THE FIRST WEEKCONSISTS OF 4 MORNING ORIENTATION SESSIONS. THE CLASSES ARE TAUGHT BY MUSEUM CURATORIAL STAFF AND EDUCATORS. THE CURRICULUM IS COORDINATED BY THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATION EDUCATION & SCIENCE AND FOCUSES ON SUCH AREAS AS CAUSES OF DESERTS, GEOLOGY OF THE SONORAN DESERT, ECOLOGICAL CONCEPTS, THE FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE REGION, INTERPRETIVE METHODS AND MUSEUM PHILOSOPHY. TRAINEES ARE REQUIRED TO SPEND TIME ON THE MUSEUM GROUNDS, OBSERVING DOCENT TOURS AND INTERPRETIVE PRESENTATIONS. THEY MUST RECEIVE PASSING SCORES ON SECTION QUIZZES, A MID-TERM EXAM, AND A FINAL EXAM. THE NEXT DOCENT TRAINING CLASS IS SCHEDULED FOR LATE SUMMER 2021.II.

MANY SPECIES THAT LIVE IN OR AROUND THIS WATER ARE THREATENED OR ENDANGERED DUE THE LOSS OF HABITAT. THE MUSEUM WORKS WITH PARTNERS, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES TO HOLD, BREED AND SUPPLEMENT THE POPULATIONS OF THESE SPECIES IN THE WILD. FOR EXAMPLE, FOR OVER 20 YEARS, THE DESERT MUSEUM HAS PARTNERED WITH THE ARIZONA GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT TO BREED AND REPATRIATE TARAHUMA FROGS (LITHOBATES TARAHUMARAE). THESE FROGS WERE EXTIRPATED FROM ARIZONA IN THE 1980S. THE DESERT MUSEUM REVIVED ITS GENETIC POOL OF FROGS WITH TADPOLES, COLLECTED FROM YECORA, SONORA, MEXICO, AND WAS THE FIRST INSTITUTION TO PRODUCE THESE FROGS IN CAPTIVITY. THE BREEDING COLLECTION HAS BEEN HOUSED AT THE MUSEUM AND SUCCESSFULLY PROPAGATED FOR MANY YEARS. ASDM HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONSERVATION OF OTHER AQUATIC SPECIES AS WELL, INCLUDING:-RANID FROGS: ASDM DEVELOPED HOUSING AND HUSBANDRY METHODS FOR LEOPARD FROGS AND THEIR RELATIVES THAT ACCELERATED AND MAXIMIZED DEVELOPMENT OF TADPOLES AND FROGLETS IN A SEMI-NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, PRODUCING MORE HEALTHY ANIMALS FOR RELEASE. - MEXICAN GARTER SNAKES: ASDM WAS THE FIRST TO PRODUCE THESE SNAKES IN CAPTIVITY. - SONOYTA MUD TURTLE: ASDM WAS THE FIRST TO BREED THIS TURTLE IN CAPTIVITY, A SPECIES LISTED AS ENDANGERED IN OCTOBER 2017. - MANY OTHERS: ASDM MAINTAINS ASSURANCE POPULATIONS OF: SONOYTA PUPFISH, YAQUI CHUB, GILA TOPMINNOW, YAQUI TOPMINNOW, SONORA CHUB, BEAUTIFUL SHINER, YAQUI CATFISH, AND GILA CHUB, AMONG OTHERS. - ASDM MAINTAINS THESE ANIMALS FOR REINTRODUCTION: SONOYTA PUPFISH, YAQUI CHUB, YAQUI TOPMINNOW, MEXICAN GARTER SNAKE, GILA CHUB, SONOYTA MUD TURTLE AND TARAHUMARA FROGS SONORAN DESERT BEE DIVERSITY BEES ARE AMONG THE MOST ABUNDANT AND DIVERSE ANIMAL GROUPS IN THE SONORAN DESERT. ONE REASON FOR THIS HIGH DIVERSITY IS THAT THE SONORAN DESERT REGION HOLDS A GREAT VARIETY OF HABITATS, FROM SOME OF THE HOTTEST, DRIEST PLACES ON THE CONTINENT THAT RECEIVE FEWER THAN THREE INCHES OF RAIN ANNUALLY, TO THE COOL, MOIST CONIFEROUS FORESTS ATOP THE ISOLATED MOUNTAIN RANGES KNOWN AS SKY ISLANDS THAT SPECKLE THE REGION. AS PRIMARY POLLINATORS OF MANY DESERT PLANTS, BEES ARE ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THESE HABITATS, ARIZONA-SONORA DESERT MUSEUM SCIENTISTS ARE WORKING TO DOCUMENT, DESCRIBE AND UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF BEE DIVERSITY IN OUR REGION AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE AND HABITAT DISTURBANCE MAY ALTER THIS DISTRIBUTION IN THE FUTURE.
