Early morning in the Everglades. Let’s find out more about this place that is way more complex and meaningful than what people think

Before moving to Florida I wanted to thank Bryon from @skyislandalliance for helping me explore and understand better the importance of the Sky Islands. A unique, precious ecosystem, the value of which is ignored by most of local people. I wish only but good luck to SIA in protecting this place and letting the world know about it

Driving down on Mt Lemmon highway. I was really surprised to find such a beautiful and diverse landscape right next to Tucson.
I now regret to not have spent more time here

In the Chiricahua mountains trails are frequently blocked by fire-killed trees that are still falling. Due to dense brush growth, steep elevations, precipitous canyon walls, an undependable water supply, it can be really hard to hike on these trails.
I walked for 6km with the @skyislandalliance team only to find out that the water source we were looking for had moved because of erosion and wasn’t accessible

On the weekend I joined the team and volunteers of the Sky Island Alliance (@skyislandalliance), an NGO that strives to protect and restore the unique biodiversity of these mountain ranges.
We visited the Chiricahua mountains to assess springs and other water resources in the area

Sky islands are isolated mountains in South Arizona and New Mexico surrounded by radically different lowland environments. The significant physical distance that separates each mountain range creates habitat islands with unique biodiversity.

On my way from Alaska to Florida I decided to make a quick stop in South Arizona to visit the unique environment of the socalled Sky Islands.

The time I spent in Kivalina was an eye-opening experience.
Even if only few people live here, getting to know their life made me realize how imminent are the changes that our planet and our species are going through.
Now it’s time to head South.

Kivalina becomes a playground after the rain.

Kids in Kivalina are addicted to jumping and bouncing. I suspect they are just learning how to fly.
