The Center for Biological
Diversity, Natural Trails and Waters Coalition, Desert Protective Council and
National Wildlife Federation, along with West Coast Imaging and others have
teamed up with L.A.-based photographer Andrew Harvey to create a visually stunning
and fascinating photographic exhibition exploring Southern California's Algodones
Dunes. This traveling photographic exhibit is a dynamic combination of art and
education.
The exhibit engages the
public in a memorable visual experience while inviting them to learn more about
the natural history of the Algodones Dunes, the importance of preserving the
diverse array of animals and plants that depend on this fragile ecosystem, and
the looming threat to our environment posed by the increased use of off-road
vehicles on public lands. This is a rare opportunity to view a photographic
exhibit with breathtaking visual imagery that also raises public awareness of
immediate environmental threats to this extraordinarily beautiful and biologically
important piece of the American landscape.
Donations to support this
educational and photographic project are being graciously accepted.
