Silverleaf Decline

This photo dates back to 1974 -- cleaned up with Gemini AI -- the original was very fuzzy. It is me, on top of Table Mountain. But there is something quite striking in this photo. Behind my left shoulder, one sees a large silverleaf forest. Today, that is almost all gone. The range of silverleaf forests has shrunk by three-quarters since records began.
