Humans have used and coexisted with cacti in arid regions of North and South America for thousands of years. Species of the family Cactaceae possess physiological adaptations to arid and semi-arid climates that have allowed them to be used as a resource throughout the year by traditional peoples. The objective of this review is to present information on the uses and management of species of Cactaceae in the various regions of the Americas. This review provides information relevant to conservation policies regarding this important resource for local populations in semi-arid regions. To fully understand how management can influence cacti conservation, a knowledge gap regarding the traditional management of cacti needs to be addressed.

美洲仙人掌科传统管理技术：利用与保护之间的关系

数千年来，人类在北美和南美的干旱地区使用仙人掌并与仙人掌共存。仙人掌科的物种对干旱和半干旱气候具有生理适应性，这使得它们一年四季都被传统民族用作资源。这篇综述的目的是提供有关美洲各地区仙人掌科物种的使用和管理的信息。这篇综述提供了与保护政策有关的信息，该信息涉及半干旱地区当地居民的这一重要资源。为了充分了解管理如何影响仙人掌的保存，需要解决有关传统仙人掌管理的知识空白。
