They are vastly important to the desert eco-system for a number of reasons. Human desert dwellers have always used saguaro wood as a building material. I love that this design respects this saguaro forest, but it’s also worth noting that they are extremely valuable $$$ and cactus rustlers are paid big money to uproot them for sale in the landscaping industry.
