A Colorado cactus was removed from the endangered species list after nearly 50 years
The Colorado hookless cactus has been a federally threatened species for nearly 50 years. Now it’s making a recovery, leading the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to take it off the endangered species list.
The cactus is a small, barrel-shaped cactus with pink flowers that bloom in late April and early May. Recent data shows the species is “more abundant than previously known at the time of listing.”
Thanks to the help of recovery partners like the Bureau of Land Management, the Colorado Natural Heritage Program, and the Denver Botanic Gardens, threats to the cactus have been eliminated or reduced. The service says it will continue to monitor the cactus to ensure its long-term stability.
Why is this good news? As the world faces devastating plant and animal species loss, stories like this Colorado cactus remind us that — with the right investment, attention, and care — extinction is not inevitable.
Take action to thoughtfully celebrate Pride Month!
Pride Month officially kicks off on Sunday! This month-long celebration is an opportunity to celebrate the beautiful spectrum of gender and sexuality and come together to fight for equality and justice in the LGBTQ+ community.
While Pride Month has become known for beautiful, boisterous rainbow parades, the LGBTQ+ community celebrates this month in honor of a long, tumultuous history towards equal rights.
And in the face of over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills, (attempted) bans on transgender athletes, military members, and life-saving gender-affirming care, LGBTQ+ people deserve the space to rejoice, grieve, dance, and feel together in safety.
These are just a few ideas, and there are truly so many ways to uplift and support the queer community this Pride Month (and beyond) — read books by LGBTQ+ authors, avoid rainbow-washing at work, listen to a playlist of LGBTQ+ musicians, and more.
“People in this country who are in positions of privilege must learn to find ways of fighting for the just treatment of others, not by centering and platforming themselves, but by holding up the ones who are suffering.”
