But nothing quite prepared me to witness the extent of the destruction in Canada's boreal forests that I saw in June, one year after the record-breaking wildfires of 2023...Residents told us the burned trees revealed hills, rivers, and towns that they had never seen before. It was alarming.
One of the strongest pieces of evidence of this shift is the gradual decline of the black spruce, a humble species that has dominated these landscapes for thousands of years...Losing any part of the black spruce forests will make the global struggle to keep temperatures below catastrophic levels harder.
