The Mojave Desert Land Trust (MDLT) is dedicated to protecting the remarkable landscapes of the Colorado and Mojave Deserts. Through their conservation efforts, MDLT has successfully preserved over 110,000 acres of important desert habitat, connecting national parks, national monuments, wilderness areas, and wildlife corridors. Using a multi-faceted approach, MDLT employs strategies such as land acquisition, restoration, stewardship, plant cultivation, and education to ensure the long-term preservation of the California desert.

Their service area spans nearly 26 million acres, encompassing the Colorado Desert and the entire California portion of the Mojave Desert. Since their establishment in 2006, MDLT has not only protected ecologically significant land but also cultivated over 100,000 native plants for restoration purposes and community use. Their vision for the California desert includes pristine night skies, clean air and water, breathtaking vistas, and a thriving ecosystem rich in native plants and wildlife.

By recognizing the impact of climate change on the desert, MDLT remains committed to safeguarding the natural, scenic, and cultural resources of the Colorado and Mojave Desert ecosystems
