Small Edit assignment
[edit]I added a citation to the end their conservation portion to direct people to the IUNC website and I added a little more about what IUNC is. I also added the following to the "conservation" section of the Sequoioideae article:

Conservation
[edit]Conservation of Redwood trees is beyond their economic and aesthetic benefits they provide to humans. They hold cultural significance to indigenous tribes, participate in intricate nutrient and water processes, and provide homes for endemic species.[1] For example, the canopy layer that exists in old growth forests is difficult to replicate in younger tree communities therefore their steady disappearance has irreversible impacts.[1]
The IUNC or The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species was established in 1964. Over the decades it has evolved to become a dependable source of extinction rates of animals, fungi and plants used by government agencies, conservation organizations, students, educational organizations, and many more. [2]
These trees can live for thousands of years and can grow up to 325 feet.[3]

If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
