Federal officials are proposing the removal of a cactus native to Colorado from the endangered species list after nearly 30 years.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced last week a proposed rule to remove Sclerocactus glaucus – more commonly known as the Colorado hookless cactus – a small barrel cactus found in the Colorado and Gunnison River Basins in western Colorado, from the list of federally threatened and endangered species.
The proposal comes after scientists from the Denver Botanic Gardens gathered and analyzed data which projected that populations were stable and resilient. “Data collection on long-lived species, such as this cactus, is labor intensive and it takes years to see results,” said Michelle DePrenger-Levin, a population biology research associate. “It’s exciting to see my efforts lead to a better understanding of how this cactus survives through climate and human caused stressors and inspires me to continue work on this and many other rare and threatened species.
“It was found that they were resilient to recent periods of drought and that population trends were stable,” scientists noted.
