Due to increasingly warmer winters, bark beetle populations have been growing rapidly - almost doubling every year since 1996. These beetle destroy the inner bark of trees, interrupting the flow of nutrients from roots to leaves, eventually killing the plant. On Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula alone, over three million acres of old growth forest have been devastated. In this book, I aim to raise awareness of global warming, mourn the loss of numerous acres of old growth forest that have been eradicated by bark beetles, and wonder about how future generations will think of us, knowing we saw the evidence and still refused to change.
