82 percent of copiapoa cacti species, native to the Atacama Desert in Chile , are now at risk of extinction.
This climbing risk has been driven largely by an increase in poaching and illegal trade “facilitated by social media,” IUCN report says.
Illegal collectors switched their focus from North American to South American species in the last 10 years .
IUCN is advocating for more sustainable practices, like artificial greenhouse propagation, to meet increased market demand.
Cacti cacti have a gray tone and are coated in a dusty-looking bloom that protects the plants in one of the driest deserts on Earth , whereas cultivated plants appear greener.
