Demand Real Protection for Giant Sequoia National Monument
Target: US Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid; Speaker of the House, Nancy PelosiSponsored by: Sierra Club
The Giant Sequoia trees of California are the largest living trees in the world ... some are as ancient as 3,400 years old, with a diameter of greater than 35 feet and the height of a 25-story building.
Giant Sequoias are among the oldest living trees on the planet. Many took root long before our great, great grandparents were born, and will live to see our great, great grandchildren -- if we don't allow the timber industry to destroy them first.
The Giant Sequoias were here before our nation was founded, quietly witnessing the evolution of our society. Now our "progress" is the greatest threat to their continued survival.
Sign the petition today to urge US leaders to bring real protection to the Giant Sequoia National Monument.

You may only see trees. I see wisdom and greatness. I see history that no words can tell. I want it protected for everyone to see just how great they are and how nature stands above all.

I saw the sequoias when I was 5 years old, and never forgot them. I hope my children and their children will have the chance to see them too!

Shouldn't it be obvious! The sad fact is, there are those in power who just don't care.

It would be an unforgivable crime to kill these magnificent trees that have survived for centuries, that are living creatures themselves and give protecting and habitat to countless others. Humans can't claim any more lives - not of only individuals but entire species - to invade even further. We have already taken up the space of so many, we finally need to step back and appreciate nature!

Have people of this country gotten so distracted by videogames, their computers and other such nonsense, not to realize that we're destroying our very existance on earth by allowing destruction of that which sustains us. The precious trees.
