| description | Mexico is the most important center of concentration of genera and species of cacti, most of which are endemic (73 and 78% respectively). Most of the species occur in the arid or semiarid regions of the country, especially in the southeastern portion of the Chihuahuan Desert, including the Queretaro-Hidalgo Arid Zone. Many of the species are under collecting pressures and their habitats are being destroyed. In addition, these have a limited ability to reestablish demographically after a disturbance event. Consequently, a significant number of mexican cacti are listed as endangered. |

Godinez A., Hector conservation endemism floristic listing reduced distribution conservación distribución reducida endemismo listado florístico, Mexico is the most important center of concentration of genera and species of cacti, most of which are endemic (73 and 78% respectively). Most of the species occur in the arid or semiarid regions of the country, especially in the southeastern portion of the Chihuahuan Desert, including the Queretaro-Hidalgo Arid Zone. Many of the species are under collecting pressures and their habitats are being destroyed. In addition, these have a limited ability to reestablish demographically after a disturbance event. Consequently, a significant number of mexican cacti are listed as endangered. México es el más importante centro de concentración de cactáceas, con un alto índice de endemismo a nivel genérico (73 %) y específico (78 %). La mayor parte de las especies habitan en las regiones áridas y semi-áridas del país, particularmente en la porción sureste del Desierto Chihuahuense, incluyendo la Zona Arida Queretano-Hidalguense. Muchas de ellas están sujetas a presiones de colecta y a la destrucción de su hábitat, además, por lo general tienen una habilidad limitada para restablecerse demográficamente después de un evento de perturbación. En consecuencia, un número significativo de cactáceas mexicanas se ha incluido en listados de plantas amenazadas.
