Drought affects all aspects of life here in the Arizona desert, including species like bighorn sheep. To help alleviate those effects, AZGFD uses solar-powered satellite sensors to more efficiently maintain 3,000 wildlife waters around the state, including man-made catchments.

AZGFD biologists and volunteers hiked down to Raspberry Creek to hand stock 250 Whiskey Creek lineage Gila Trout. The 4" Gila trout are carried in buckets and the 7-mile roundtrip hike has about 1000’ of elevation drop. This project continues the Gila Trout recovery process for Arizona's creeks and streams. The trout are from Mora National Fish Hatchery in New Mexico. | Arizona Game & Fish Department

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, more than one third of Arizona's original wetlands have disappeared since the late 1800s, but beavers might be part of the solution. 🦫 Beavers have a habit of building dams and burrowing into banks. That behavior can cause flooding and damage to infrastructure. But in the right place and with the right process, those same habits can make beavers powerful allies in ecological restoration. That’s why AZGFD biologists are testing a beaver translocat
