Amargosa River, Mojave Desert. Ambient recording made at this green ribbon of oasis in the desert near the junction with Willow Creek (south of China Ranch) Tecopa California
"The Amargosa River and Basin provide unique desert habitats. The greater ecological setting for the river is the Mojave Desert.
In one of the hottest and driest places anywhere, the river and nearby springs provide islands of water that support a variety of plants and animals. Often these animals are unique to the area – or endemic – meaning they can’t be found anywhere else on earth.
