The Underground Forest

Among the oldest living things in the world is the Underground Forest  located in Pretoria, South Africa – 13000 years Old.  Just When I think I’ve seen it all this one caught my eye and freshly amazed me.  This forest actually relocated itself under ground to survive the fires of the area. Only it’s leaves show on the ground.  This way when a fire blazes by its just like if you or I burnt our hair.  The adaptation on this level is breathtaking and awe inspiring.  It also shows us to what lengths we may have to go to be sustainable ourselves.  Radical change may be the only way to survive.  Perhaps instead of our focus on the three “R”’s we should be dreaming up our new future and then perhaps we can survive like this forest did.
