Save Juniper Trees Photo

Photographer’s Note

Balochistan is lucky for having the 2nd largest forest of the "JUNIPER TREES ". At the same time it is very unlucky for not being able to save it. More then 35% of this forest is suffering from the Diseases "MASULLTO" and 3% of the forest is yearly vanishing as fire wood by the local people in winter due to non availability of natural gas pipe line.

Trees which are upto 7000 years old are being cut in few seconds as fire wood. This forest is in very quick process to be vanished from this part of the World.

Informative notes and interesting photo. So this tree is very slowly growing, in 4500 years only this width is so small. Can you put the whole tree in another picture to see what it looks like. Thanks

A call to arms to all who love nature and respect her. The background specially on the left is not very attractive maybe cropping to the tree it would be beneficial. This is almost a sad photo but there's still hope for the trees.
