Responsible:

Participant Institutions:
Organización Vida Silvestre, A.C.

Starting date: April 27, 1999.

Objectives:

1. To try different reproductive techniques of plant species native to Northwest Mexico, specifically of the Sonoran Desert.

2. To recover the number of individuals of those plant species under some sort of protection status.

3. To reduce the genetic stress of those species affected by human use or the reduction of its populations.

4. To establish a genetic bank or species reservoir.

Creation of a desert plant vivarium at El Plomito reserve, where different propagation techniques will be tested.

Our interest to develop this project is to help the research, conservation and forestation of the Sonoran Desert.
