Arizona's Brutal Heatwave Contributes To The Dying Of Its Iconic Saguaro Cacti

APACHE JUNCTION, ARIZONA - AUGUST 02: Saguaro cacti stand in the Sonoran Desert on August 2, 2023 near Apache Junction, Arizona. The cacti are threatened by a number of issues linked to climate change and are under increased stress from extreme heat during Arizona’s brutal summer heat wave. Three saguaro cacti have lost an arm or fallen over in the past week at Phoenix’s Desert Botanical Garden. The saguaro is the largest cactus in the nation, living as long as 150-200 years and reaching heights of over 50 feet. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
