Nurtured by Nature

A Tucson resident follows his true passion and lets nature lead the way.
by Tony Paniagua

Tucson native Tony Figueroa grew up loving the outdoors and being a “nature nerd” which included watching The Desert Speaks, NOVA, and Nature on PBS. After beginning a career in a “sensible field” as a pharmacy technician, he decided to follow his true passion, attended the University of Arizona, and now works to protect the Sonoran Desert.
