California’s coast redwoods are used to growing in cool, coastal areas where the average temperature is around 59°F. But as average yearly temperatures rise and heatwaves push to 100°-plus spikes, the trees are responding by slowing the very operation that nourishes them: ucdav.is/4xWF5AO

Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.
