Patrick Donnelly

I'm a desert advocate and conservation biologist who fights for biodiversity, public lands, endangered species, rural communities, and a livable climate. I've been active in desert conservation for 22 years, from running trail crews to managing habitat restoration projects to leading outdoor education trips to the past 11 years as a full-time advocate. The desert is my whole world. I live in a small village on the edge of Death Valley, and I'm fighting to save my home.
