Giant Organism Faces Gradual Decay

Pando, the world's largest organism located in Utah, is a 106-acre stand of genetically identical aspen clones that has supported a diverse ecosystem for thousands of years. Despite its resilience, it faces threats from overgrazing by deer and elk, diseases, and climate change, which could jeopardize its future. Conservation efforts and scientific research aim to protect this remarkable natural wonder for the coming centuries.
