"These 3 Supertrees Can Protect Us From Climate Collapse" focuses on three trees, located in Brazil, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo respectively, that provide great benefits to the entire world while being at the center of the climate crisis. The series was created in part by Pulitzer Center grantees Eliza Barclay, Tristan McConnell, Umair Irfan, Sarah Waiswa, and Victor Moriyama.
