Mission

Patagonia Area Resource Alliance works to protect the Patagonia Mountains and Sonoita Creek Watershed from the negative impacts of modern industrialized mining. We hold state and federal agencies accountable to the laws and regulation on mining related activities; we collaborate with strategic partners to assure that any mining activities meet the highest science-based standards to protect the water, air land and wildlife of this biodiversity hotspot; and we support the nature-based economy of our region.
