-An Oz-like Visitation in the Colorado Desert During the Christmas Holidays-

“Lions and tigers and bears,” said Dorothy. “I won’t find any of these in this silly old desert- or anything else worth bothering about,’ smiling as she drove her hybrid SUV into the wiles of Coachella Valley- and piled out with the Tin Woodsman and Scarecrow into the parking lot of the Living Desert. The Cowardly Lion heard there weren’t any lions and was handling a Munchkin revolt in the North of Oz anyway. Toto held the fort back at the Esmeralda Renaissance Resort at Indian Wells. Dorothy had told him that she didn’t expect to see any lions, but now she regretted it. She had thought the Desert only had a few lizards and scorpions.

No tigers but I do see a bobcat running around. Oops, there’s a cheetah. I guess we’re doing OK in the big cats area, but a bear would be so exciting! Well, come to think of it, the Mexican wolf and coyotes kind of make up for it.”

Dorothy wasn’t alone in her surprise. As she began to understand the amazing richness of the desert ecosystem, Dorothy began to fully participate in the stated mission of part of the Living Desert’s agenda. After all the purpose of this part zoo/part conservation program/part botanical garden/part museum/part school for those who value wildlife and ecology was to waken people to the unexpected wealth of desert life. In fact, the Living Desert,set in the Colorado Desert in Coachella Valley, was really a celebration of the flora and fauna of all the amazing deserts of the world.

The Living Desert is an amazing, multi-faced celebration of wildlife set strategically close to the growing sophistication of the affluent Palm Desert shopping centers; art galleries and (more…)
