Millie Spencer, a CUAHSI Pathfinder Fellowship recipient, shares her experience and area of research. Millie’s project consists of aerial vehicle surveys of volcanic glaciers, and interviews with individuals living downstream of the glaciers in Chile. Read her column- www.cuahsi.org/community/ne...

Araucaria or Pewen trees, the sacred tree of the Mapuche-Pehuenche people, are found in high-elevation native forests throughout Araucanía. The spread of pine and eucalyptus plantations are causing these nonnative species to crop up in once native forests, threatening the livelihoods of these sacred trees.
