Who We Are and Our Mission
Who We Are and Our Mission
Within UC Riverside's Center for Conservation Biology department, the Sweet lab is based in Palm Desert, CA. We are dedicated to the conservation and restoration of ecosystems, focused largely on the diverse desert ecosystems of the Coachella Valley. Across our department and affiliate faculty and staff, we are ecologists, biologists, social scientists, and biogeographers working to solve earth's most pressing challenges where biodiversity is at risk.
Land Acknowledgement
Land Acknowledgement
We at UCR would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Cahuilla [ka-weeahh], Chemehuevi [cheh-meh-way-vee], Luiseño [loo-say-ngo], Mojave [mo-hah-vee], Serrano [se-ran-oh], and Tongva [tong-va] peoples and all their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. The land in which we work is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including UCR faculty, students, and staff, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands.
