, now National Park Service officials are warning there could be a risk of regeneration failure in parts of Sequoia National Park. “The sobering reality is that we have seen another huge loss within a finite population of these iconic trees that are irreplaceable in many lifetimes,” said Clay Jordan, superintendent of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. “As spectacular as these trees are we really can’t take them for granted.
The majestic sequoias once even thrived with fires. But now a combination of climate change that has increased the intensity of fires and caused hotter droughts as well as fire suppression tactics that have led to unnaturally dense forests has made the trees more vulnerable.

How sad. Wild fires ignited by lunatic climate change scam arsonists. A lot of people think you just plant trees to create a forest but a real forest has connected roots that take thousands of years to create. This is their system of shared resources which pushes water to dry trees, etc. So yes, preservation is far better than replanting.
