A saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] helps desert animals by serving as a landmark in an otherwise monotonous desert environment. It helps by providing shade with the substantial shadows cast by its towering height and branching arms. It helps by offering drink and food through its colorful, edible, juicy fruits. It helps by giving jobs to pollinators, seeds to birds and rodents for wide area dispersion, and shelter to nesting birds. It helps by contributing to air purificationby taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. It helps by aerating the ground through the passageways that its spreading, shallow, fibrous roots create through the soil.
