Climate change could kill off half the trees in Kew Gardens
Briefly

Kew's 'Planting for the Future' plan aims to plant trees based on climate change predictions like rising temperatures and sea levels, losing over 50% of species, with common British trees most at risk.
Director Richard Barley emphasizes the importance of diversifying plant selection for landscapes beyond Kew Gardens, aiming to sustain native species and biodiversity against diseases.
Kew's changing plant life mirrors Britain's evolving landscape, with efforts to preserve 'Old Lions', the oldest trees, amidst projections resembling Barcelona's 2019 climate by 2050.
