If I got it right, Dr. Margulies is in Sheffield now, one more reason to support his work...

I have filled it in but find it strange that you can not check earlier answers and revise them if you think you have given a wrong answer.

He was for a time but he's now based at The University of Alabama. Still fill out his survey though!

@GregoryBulmer: I stand corrected :) - 'In Fall 2019 I joined the Department of Geography at the University of Alabama as an Assistant Professor of Political Ecology. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the BIOSEC project in the Department of Politics at the University of Sheffield.' - that's what his bio says...

And I also didn't know this:
Can learning to care for plants help save them from extinction?
June 30, 2020

An Article in CactusWorld, the journal of the British Cactus and Succulent Society.

I guess there will be another article based on this survey, not sure if it will make any difference, but it took me only 5 mins to finish it...

I hope you all put in how CITIES was working against the mass production of endangered species by making their trade impossible but does nothing to protect those species in habitat. This is not a call for collecting plants in the wild but a call for some material (Plants & Seeds) to be given to the propagaters in the hobby for mass production, some of the more recent Mammillaria and Escobaria come to mind.
