Our new documentary dives into the urgent battle to save these iconic symbols of America’s natural heritage, revealing the fragile funding that threatens their future.
Sara Walker proposes an expansive view of life as lineages, not individuals, where our technology and knowledge is emergent from the biosphere. This is a fascinating way to look forward and evaluate future lineages, but it also asks us to look backwards!

The Giant Sequoias, icons of American environmentalism, inspired the national park system and feature on every park ranger’s patch. No natural feature has seen greater preservation efforts. Yet, nearly one-fifth of all mature giant sequoias are now dead.

www.earth.com/news/collaps... The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is like a massive ocean conveyor belt moving warm & cold Atlantic Ocean water from the Gulf of Mexico, along the US east coast & across to Europe. Unfortunately, it’s slowing down and on the verge of total collapse.
Collapse of Earth's main ocean water circulation system is already happening
AMOC is like a massive ocean circulation conveyor belt that moves warm and cold water around the Atlantic. It's failing, and that's very bad.
