	MyWestTexas.com - Chihuahuan Desert losing cacti to poachers
		Cactus poaching and the legal harvesting of species of cacti, including rare flowering species, in the expansive Chihuahuan Desert in the Southwestern United States and into Mexico are endangering rare species of the native plants, disrupting the ecosystem, and depriving wildlife of natural habitats.
		Cactus collecting, including that for landscaping and by "cactophiles" who seek rare specimens for their collections, is popular in Europe and Japan and has become a multi-million-dollar industry, the WWF said.
		Among the protected species is the bunched cory cactus (Coryphantha ramillosa) that occurs in limited areas of Texas in southern and southeastern Brewster and southwestern Terrell counties, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).

	UTILIZATION OF OPUNTIA FOR FORAGE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
		In southern Texas, opuntia is highly regarded as an emergency feed for livestock and as a mainstay for the wildlife population.
		Cactus cladodes should either be dried in the shade for several days to allow the cut surface to “heal over,” or the new cladodes treated with lime/copper sulphate solution to control bacterial rots.
		After drying the cactus for several weeks, it would be useful if a modified forage harvester could move down the rows, pick up the dried cactus, chop it and blow it into a wagon.
