This Podcast is about the Sonoran Desert and how climate change and human actions
have made an impact. Many people focus on wet areas being impacted by climate change, but
deserts will also be greatly impacted and it is important to take note of this as well. The Sonoran
Desert as well as the entire area of the southwest is changing at an alarming rate and soon it will
be unrecognizable. This area can serve as a warning for the world, showing what is soon to
come. All interviews are sourced from articles and websites listed below in the bibliography. All
sound effects are from https://freesound.org/home/, and the sound of the ferruginous pygmy owl
is from: “Ferruginous Pygmy Owl.” ML: Macaulay Library, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 17
Mar. 2008.
