Las montañas de Sierra Nevada en California son el hogar de antiguas gigantes rojas, conocidas como secuoyas gigantes, que fueron descubiertas por cazadores blancos en la década de 1830. A pesar de ser conocido durante siglos por los nativos americanos, el público en general tardó otros 20 años en darse cuenta de estos enormes árboles. Inicialmente, se construyeron caminos para permitir un acceso más fácil a estos organismos ancestrales, lo que provocó la tala de muchos de estos árboles. Aunque la madera de estos árboles era inferior a la de otras maderas blandas, los madereros continuaron talándolas por motivos de prestigio. El conservacionista John Muir y su Sierra Club abogaron por la protección de estos árboles, y en 1890 se estableció el Parque Nacional Sequoia. La apasionada defensa de Muir de estos árboles finalmente condujo a la formación del Bosque Nacional Sequoia en 1908. Hoy en día, ni siquiera los árboles jóvenes son talados. , y los organismos más masivos del mundo son libres de volver a envejecer y volverse enormes.
