Rising cacti theft sparks plant microchipping at Arizona national park


Visiting America’s national parks will forever change you. But it should go without saying you should never, ever vandalize or steal from a national park. “It’s ironic that we set aside great places like Saguaro National Park and people think that they can just come take the iconic cactus for which the park is named,” Kevin Dahl, a program manager for the National Park Conservation Association in Arizona, told KTAR News. According to officials, a number of the cactus plants have been microchipped. However, they note that while the chips can identify a stolen plant, they cannot track them.
