  • Dudleya pachyphytum is an insular succulent plant known by the common name Cedros Island liveforever. It is a member of the genus Dudleya, in the family Crassulaceae. Characterized by thick, blunt leaves covered in a white, powdery wax and adorned by white flowers in bloom, it is regarded as one of the most attractive and charismatic members of its genus. It is endemic to the foggy northern end of Mexico's Cedros Island, occupying an ecological niche shared with the Cedros Island Pine. The plant is endangered due to poaching from organized criminals supplying succulent collectors, many of whom are located in Asia. The poachers include South Korean nationals and criminal gangs operating under the Mexican cartels. The demand from succulent collectors has led to overexploitation of the plant in the wild, and armed confrontations between competing poachers has contributed to several killings. (en)
