Happy 20th to Center for Biological Diversity

Dr. Robin Silver, CBD co-founder, speaks at Fossil Creek AZ.

TUCSON -- I wish a great 20th anniversary to the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group based here.

As many readers of this blog and others know, I worked hard for many years as a main part of the Center's desert protection efforts. I first started doing work with the group in 1996, when the org was still called the Southwest Center. I'm proud to have served to help grow the Center and its conservation efforts as an ecologist and deserts program director until fall 2006.

I am still allied with the Center, and many of my friends still work there. I wish them all well.
