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.
