The situation
What’s happening to Giant Sequoia
The largest living things on Earth are dying. Wildfires supercharged by climate change have killed thousands of giant sequoias, trees that evolved to survive fire but cannot survive the infernos that decades of suppression and a warming climate have created. Now logging proposals framed as “fuel reduction” threaten to finish what the fires started.
