  Also, the land is considered important to preserve under the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, said Rob Marshall, science director for the Arizona Nature Conservancy and a member of the county's Conservation Acquisition Commission.
  
  "It's a priority parcel to protect," Marshall said."The Bellota includes a portion of the San Pedro River's cottonwood/willow riparian forest."
  
  It's also next to Buehman Canyon, which has sycamore, cottonwood, willow and ash trees.It also has uplands that probably support Swainson's hawks, Marshall said.

  "Protecting this area would provide a rare opportunity to conserve a wide variety of the Sonoran Desert's biological diversity in a large landscape that remains largely intact," said Rob Marshall of The Nature Conservancy of Arizona."This area - particularly the Sand Tank Mountains - which has not had the incompatible land uses of mining, livestock grazing, and cross-country vehicle travel for more than 50 years - is rare, not only in its diversity but the health of the native plant communities found there.It's difficult to find saguaro forests as vigorous and intact as can be found in the Sand Tanks."
  
  Healthy wildlife communities also abound in the area, including populations of vulnerable desert bighorn sheep, Gila monster, kit fox, mule deer, raptors such as Harris' hawk, desert tortoise, and dozens of snake and lizard species which make the area home.A number of desert amphibians, such as the Sonoran green toad, find some of their northern-most habitat in the Vekol Valley.The area may also provide future recovery habitat for the federally endangered Sonoran pronghorn antelope.

  "The real trick of this exercise is for the county to strike that balance for all the species being considered, and that's no small challenge," said Rob Marshall, director of science for The Nature Conservancy of Arizona and a member of the open space bonds acquisition committee.

  By suing the Interior Department to list species or designate critical habitat, environmental watchdog groups have become the "teeth" of the Endangered Species Act, says Rob Marshall, a former Fish and Wildlife employee who now works for The Nature Conservancy."Their lawsuits just compel the agencies to do what they are supposed to do," he says.Environmental lawsuits, he says, have a 60 to 70 percent success rate."The environmental groups are tripping (the agencies) up in their own paperwork."
