A symbol of hope: the iconic Banyan Tree in Lahaina, Hawaii is showing signs of recovery. Almost exactly a year since the devastating fires on Maui, the community continues to seek to heal. For many, this one tree is a powerful symbol of the community and recovery. 🌱 We often speak of entire forests being symbolic. This shows how a single tree can represent so much. 🌿 As fires burn across Canada, Greece and Southern Africa this week, it is important to note that fire scale is increasing around the world. 🐠 The #Maui fires are the first time I have ever seen “deadly wildfire” and “hurricane” in the same sentence. These two things are not meant to be linked: hurricanes are associated with heavy rain. The Lahaina fires were fanned by winds linked to a hurricane. 🌳 The story of the tree’s recovery is here: https://lnkd.in/dG9p4Fpg 🔥This video from The Guardian shows the scale and intensity of the tragic fires. The smoke plume looked like a volcano eruption. Link: https://lnkd.in/dGXcpCTK The photo is of a fire in Zambia.
