Baishan Fir is critically endangered species of fir. It is endemic to Baishanzu Shan in southern Zhejiang province in eastern China. It is threatened by collection and climate change. It was discovered in 1963 and only seven trees were found. Three of these were dug up and moved to Beijing Botanical Garden, where they died. By 1987, only three trees were left in the wild, making it the rarest conifer in the world. Today, there are only five individuals still alive. Save them before it's too late!
