Check out this drone and wildlife-camera footage of wildlife of the San Pedro River. The Southwest’s last free-flowing river, the San Pedro is a vital lifeline for plants and animals across southeastern Arizona — from bats and cougars to endangered species like southwestern willow flycatchers, Huachuca water umbels, and desert pupfish. ********************* About the Center: The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

Flowing through the arid desert borderlands of Arizona and Sonora, Mex., the San Pedro is more than a river. It's a damned miracle More than 80 species of mammals — including jaguars, coatis, pumas, bears, ocelots and bats — call the San Pedro River Basin home; add to that Sonoran tiger salamanders and western barking frogs; imperiled yellow-billed cuckoos; more than 250 species of migratory birds; and incredible native fish species such as the Gila chub, the longfin dace, the desert sucker and the roundtail chub, and you realize why one of the last undammed rivers in the Southwest needs to be protected.

Unsustainable pumping of the groundwater that supports it has caused base flows to decline by 67 percent since the 1940s. The current population of more than 50,000 people in the upper basin is pumping thousands of acre-feet (billions of gallons) more out of the aquifer each year than are recharged by rainwater. By 2020, the deficit is projected to reach 13,000 acre-feet (4.2 billion gallons) annually. The burgeoning water deficit is caused by unsustainable population growth and a lack of effective water-conservation planning. Footage by Russ McSpadden

The San Pedro River, flowing north from Mexico into Arizona, is the largest undammed river in the Southwest. It provides vital habitat for dozens of endangered species and millions of migratory birds. But the river is at a crossroads: A proposed 28,000-home development would bleed it dry, harming countless wildlife. The Center has teamed up with filmmaker Dina Kagan to create a powerful 13-minute film showcasing the beauty and vulnerability of the San Pedro.
