This isn't meant as a comment on this specific request or the requester. However, there is currently a serious issue in California with people identified as Chinese and Korean nationals ripping thousands of plants out of their wild habitats and sending them to Asia for sale to collectors. One of the succulents commonly stolen is the California native Duddleya, and the locations of some very rare species are being kept secret to protect them from predation by these plant thieves.
