Planned solar farm threatens protected Joshua trees, other endangered species

Last year, California introduced its inaugural law to safeguard Joshua trees, a species threatened by climate change. However, a proposed solar farm in the Mojave Desert could result in the removal of over 3,500 protected Joshua trees1. Ironically, this project aims to combat climate change, yet it risks destroying the very trees the previous legislation sought to protect. The situation highlights the trade-offs involved in pursuing clean energy goals while impacting wildlife and undeveloped land.
