濒危的比兹纳加仙人掌是墨西哥传统糖果的钥匙,由于非法采伐和生境丧失,濒临灭绝,威胁到文化主食。 The endangered biznaga cactus, key to traditional Mexican candy acitrón, faces extinction from illegal harvesting and habitat loss, threatening a cultural staple.

濒临灭绝的 biznaga 桶形仙人掌用于制作 acitrón（一种甜而耐嚼的糖果，这是墨西哥传统菜肴 chiles en nogada 中必不可少的糖果），由于非法采伐和栖息地丧失，它面临灭绝的危险。 The endangered biznaga barrel cactus, used to make acitrón—a sweet, chewy candy essential to the traditional Mexican dish chiles en nogada—is at risk of extinction due to illegal harvesting and habitat loss. Acitrón尽管被禁止,但在墨西哥城的Merced等市场中仍然被广泛出售,在独立日庆祝活动期间因其文化意义而备受珍视。 Despite being banned, acitrón remains widely sold in markets like Merced in Mexico City, valued for its cultural significance during Independence Day celebrations. 缓慢增长和生境的破坏,包括水力发电大坝造成的破坏,阻碍了恢复,而耕作是不切实际的。 Slow growth and habitat destruction, including from hydroelectric dams, hinder recovery, and farming is impractical. 虽然有些厨师转而采用其他方法, 例如罐装的奇拉卡约特(candid chilacayote)来保存菜盘, 而不伤害仙人掌, 但许多厨师仍需要acitrón(acitrón), 反映出一种深厚的情感和文化联系。 While some chefs have switched to alternatives like candied chilacayote to preserve the dish without harming the cactus, many still demand acitrón, reflecting a deep emotional and cultural connection. 养护者强调,需要可持续的解决办法来平衡传统与生物多样性。 Conservationists stress the need for sustainable solutions to balance tradition with biodiversity.
