Thank you for the Atacama Desert entry. A suggestion for its External links section.
The entry names Copiapoa among the cacti found only in the Atacama and mentions the commercial gathering of rare plants, including cacti. Its two external links are both news stories, so a reader has nowhere to look further into the desert’s plants.
A link that would fill that gap is the Rare Cactus page on the genus Copiapoa, https://rarecactus.com/encyclopedia/copiapoa/ . It is an illustrated reference to the genus and its species, with every name checked against Kew’s Plants of the World Online.
I run the site with my daughter, and we are members of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America. Thank you for considering it.
