Our Major Conservation Initiative … and New Responsibilities for CCI
As it nears completion of its first land acquisition, CCI is entering a new phase in its mission to study and preserve vulnerable cacti in their natural range. Thanks to the generosity of a major donor in conjunction with a federal grant, CCI will be able to protect the last known pristine population of Star cactus left in the United States. This will enable CCI, as well as current and future generations of researchers, to study these and other species in their natural habitat.

In order to preserve this land from poachers and others, CCI will need to install fencing, ongoing monitoring and security facilities, and living quarters on-site. Please consider a donation to help with this initiative today.
