The cactus family, with nearly 2,000 taxa, is one of the planet's most threatened groups of organisms. Major threats contributing to their decline include habitat destruction, climate change, and illegal trade.
Michiel (Mich) Pillet will be our guest presenter for the November IrisBG Coffee Chat. He is the Program Officer for the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Cactus & Succulent Plants Specialist Group, and a doctoral candidate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. He also owns and operates the conservation-focused cactus nursery Prickly Prospects.
Mich discusses his involvement with research, conservation, service, and collections work, including climate change impact research, contributing to IUCN Red List assessments, promoting ethics in the horticultural community, and building a conservation-focused nursery.
