This Tree Is OLDER Than the Pyramids?! 🤯🌲 #shorts #ytshorts #facts #his...

You may have noticed that my feed has recently been occupied by events happening at Eden Grove and Fairy Creek. I’ve been preoccupied with staying on top of what’s happening and finding ways to give voice to those standing up for ancient forests. I have a lot to learn, but I can say that emotionally I’m shocked we are in this situation. Is it too much to hope that we would have developed and be practicing sustainable logging by now, with all that we know. It is too much to hope that by now we would understand the value of this land to the indigenous people. @bcndp @johnhorgan4bc #ancientforest #ancientforests #landback #worthmorestanding #iphonography #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #canadianartist #digitalart #digitalartist #decim8 #procreate #prisma #bcndp #johnhorgan https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTdM3ptJYW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ancient rainforests in Antarctica. In 2017, a group of scientists drilled underneath the seabed of West Antarctica (bottom right), and pulled up cores (similar to those on the top panel). . Using X-ray CT scans, they revealed the existence of fossilized roots that indicated that this area close to the South Pole was a dense rainforest 90 million years ago during the much warmer Cretaceous. . At that time, Antarctica would have been still near the pole, and at these latitudes the forest 🌳 would have experienced months of little or no direct sunlight. . Yet even in these conditions, the forest thrived bathed in twilight for months. Using models to simulate conditions in which this forest could thrive, they noticed that at that time the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the air could have been up to 1,680 ppm compared to 407.4 ppm now. . Thus, the rich CO2 environment could enabled these Antarctic forests to thrive and provide habitat for many species of dinosaurs. . While these preliminary research findings are exciting, many more questions still need to be answered about the flora and the fauna of ancient Antarctica. Even more so, a better understanding of the climate conditions of the Earth at that time could give us better insights of how natural habitats could evolve under warmer and carbon rich conditions. .

The old growth Ponderosa Pines are next level down here. Living, 3D puzzles, constantly changing, sheddin the old, and standing tall through fire and drought. Always been on of my favourite trees and seeing them spread out for days, 50 meters tall is breathtaking. #underthepines #ponderosadreams #seedtotree #ancientforests #desertgiants #magicforests #tree #ontour #adventuretime #oregonoutback (at Oregon)

Time is our enemy as we ride into battle #extinctionrebellion to #savetheplanet after centuries of historic destruction ⚜️#History exposes the brains of Britain were alarmed by the #environmentalcrisis over 400 years ago after QueenElizabethI destroyed over 85% of England’s #ancientforests In her pointless 20 year war with Spain- The First #environmentallegislation of history was imposed by her successor- the 37 year old son of #maryqueenofscots -our first openly #Gay monarch #KingJamesI 1603-1625 who placed a ban on chopping down of #trees for factory furnaces. The Stuart’s were the first dynasty to embrace the environment -recognising #animals as sentient beings & #forests as intrinsic to the health of the nation with King CharlesI opening all #RoyalParks to everyone in 1625 & embarking on his #treeplanting initiative throughout the kingdom whilst #transforming #London into modern city of residential #gardensquares 1625-1642⚜️ @quarrydoll @grahamcannphoto (at Mayfair) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hZOJjgHI4/?igshid=1m7xvgu6ympir
