The Mojave Desert

The Mojave is a very special place. In most people's minds, the desert is
nothing more than a huge sand dune. Desolate, uninhabitable, and harsh...

Those who have visited the Mojave, or who live here know different...

The Mojave is a world all it's own.  Full of wildlife, rare plant species,
and many varied habitats, it's a gold mine.

Tortoise Aid is located in the Mojave Desert.

We do all we can here to help preserve the desert and keep it
pristine so that our children, and their children can enjoy
and learn from it's breathtaking beauty.

The Mojave faces many, many threats from pollution, habitat encroachment, off highway vehicle use, poaching, military use, greedy politicians and numerous other threats to it's unique ecosystems.


It is our hope the following links will help you to understand the Mojave Desert, to appreciate it's breathtaking beauty, and also to give you the information you need to assist in whatever way you can to help keep the desert protected from the many threats which face it.
