CCI is exciting to be moving forward with a new initiative: A move toward cultivation in conjunction with a branch of the Native American Church, an action that will reduce demand for wild peyote on a meaningful scale and help create a more sustainable future across all of its branches.
You are no doubt familiar with the challenges faced by the peyote cactus both in the wild cactus populations and as a sacrament of increasingly short supply among the adherents of the peyote faith. Collaborative efforts are underway unifying the activities of two established 501(c)3 organizations: Cactus Conservation Institute and Sia: The Comanche Nation Ethno-Ornithological Initiative
You can help us solve both the pressures placed on wild plants and the supply challenges faced by future generations of NAC members who choose a path of cultivation by making a tax-deductible contribution of any size, large or small at . Your support is vital to achieving our goals of peyote conservation through developing sustainable harvesting management and land stewardship practices. We must succeed in our mission while wild peyote is still left in the world. You can read more about this initiative at Gofundme
And stay tuned for regular updates on this project!
