Efforts to Save the Giant Sequoias

Devastating fires over the last three years in California have endangered the limited number of giant sequoias to the point where scientists are cloning the huge trees and planting them farther north where climate change may produce suitable growing conditions. Preliminary surveys found that in a two year period, 2020 and 2021, almost 20 percent of all giant sequoias has been lost to wildfires.
