Nearly half of the Korean pines, a tree species emblematic of the nation, are at risk of dying at Seoraksan, a recent study revealed Wednesday. The research, conducted by the Korea National Park Service, examined the state of pine forests across five national parks -- Seoraksan, Odaesan, Chiaksan, Taebaeksan and Sobaeksan -- utilizing satellite imagery, aerial photographs and on-site patrol data. The findings revealed significant pine tree dieback, with 480 trees affected in Taebaeksan, 41 in Seoraksan, 34 in Sobaeksan, 11 in Odaesan and four in Chiaksan.

This reminds me of a conversation I had today with a fundraiser for The Nature Conservancy. I told her that I could no longer support their work due to the pointlessness of it at this time.
How do you "conserve and protect" land against GLOBAL WARMING.
The whole planet is warming up. That means EVERYWHERE. There is no place you can go, or save that can be isolated from this warming.
The entire planet is undergoing a RAPID ecosystem turnover in response to this warming. ALL of the forests across the planet are going to die over the next 30-40 years. Then they will BURN and make space for the next wave of vegetation.
Which, will probably burn again in 30-40 years as temperatures continue to climb and conditions change. A cycle that will continue for hundreds of years as temperatures climb.
There is no "conserving" forests anymore. The way to do that was to prevent warming in the first place. Everything you see around you, all the trees. They are already dead, already lost.

It’s so sad, but this proves something I’ve told myself for the past couple of years that, if we can’t help the environment then we will never be able to truly help each other

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Ok_Mechanic_6561:
All half of pines trees in Korea are facing extinction due to global warming. Like most of the trees around the world, are also facing extinction as well. The more emissions we keep blowing past will only make things worse. And we are still not doing much if anything to stop our coming demise.

All the spruce at the bottom of my garden are dying off here in QC.
