It may be used for people and wildlife finding their way, through its landmark forms in the monotonous desert environment. It may be used for food, such as the berries and vegetables that the prickly pear cactus [Opuntia spp] offers. It may be used for making money, such as through the dyes that are produced by cochineal insects(Dactylopius coccus) on the prickly pear cactus. It may be used for shelter, such as the nesting cavities that the giant saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] offers to the Gila woodpecker (Melanerpes uropygialis).
