The race to save Yosemite's giant sequoia trees
A wildfire in Yosemite National Park has expanded almost 10 times to 2,000 acres since it started on Friday. The rapidly growing Washburn Fire in California is threatening some of the world’s oldest sequoia trees…and around 1,600 people have been evacuated from the area.
Guests: Dr. Maureen Kennedy, associate professor of wildfire ecology at the University of Washington Tacoma and Axios' Oriana Gonzalez.
Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Lydia McMullen-Laird, Alex Sugiura, and Ben O'Brien. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
