Protect the roots.
Multiply the future.

Some of North America’s most treasured desert cacti are facing endangerment—not because they lack value, but because demand has outpaced protection. Rapid development, weak conservation protocols, and illegal harvesting have placed immense pressure on ecosystems that were never designed to sustain extraction at this scale.

Desert Roots Impact Project exists to change that trajectory. Rather than relying on prohibition or waiting for policy to catch up, we apply modern cultivation technology alongside time-tested plant knowledge to create regenerative alternatives that reduce pressure on wild habitats entirely.

Through Indoor Grafted Gardens, slow-growing sacred species are grafted onto faster-growing rootstock under carefully controlled, chemical-free conditions. This dramatically accelerates growth while preserving genetic integrity. Seeds from these plants are then germinated and raised indoors, producing robust juveniles that can be reintroduced into secure outdoor environments—restoring ecosystems instead of depleting them.

By open-sourcing our methods, tools, and harvesting practices, we aim to make regenerative cultivation the standard—not the exception. Our goal is simple: protect the roots, multiply the future, and ensure these plants thrive in abundance for generations to come.
