No Plants No Past: Protecting Our Prehistoric Pine

from Branch Out · host Botanic Gardens of Sydney

The Wollemi Pine was thought to be extinct for 60 million years until it was accidentally discovered by David Noble in 1994 during a weekend bushwalk, 150km from Sydney. Our living fossil captures the imagination and attention of the world because it offers a window into the past, but now scientists are focused on protecting its future.
