The 2020 Castle fire killed between 10% and 14% of the Giant Sequoias on Earth; a new coalition is trying to save the other 90%.
A report, released Monday, found between 7,500 to 10,600 large Giant Sequoias were killed during the fire, which was part of the larger SQF Complex fire. The National Parks Service announced a new coalition, composed of six local, federal and tribal agencies to mitigate a similar event.
