- ‘In late 2023, Mr. Pike created another map with more than 9,900 tiny saguaros. On this one, green signals good health and black means the cactus is dead. He’s trained about 40 people to find additional saguaros and monitor the ones already in the database.’ Beautiful #communityscience at work #GIS
- www.nytimes.com/2025/05/03/c... "in the summer of 2020, Mr. Pike watched the sky turn orange as the Bush fire burned 193,000 acres, killing roughly 80,000 saguaros." Included was the study site where I worked for my Master's degree. I haven't had the chance to go back to see the damage. 🌎 #ecology
