N2 - Scientists are collaborating on a data bank project for the useful plants at risk in the US/Mexico border states. Analysis of the information in these files will help determine which threatened plants have been used directly for such purposes as food, fiber, medicinal and ornamental products; used indirectly as genetic resources for plant breeding; how these uses affect species distribution and abundance; how land management practices affect the same; whether usefulness serves as an incentive for conservation; and if and where these plants are now protected in situ or ex situ. Focus is presently on rare members of the cactus and agave families. -from Authors
