PANDO, the world's largest organism, is dying. It's located in the Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Ever hear of it?

It is a grove of 47,000 QUAKING ASPENS and was started thousands of years ago by a single male aspen that cloned itself repeatedly. Aspens do that don'tcha know? Asexual reproduction. There are a variety of reasons for why it's dying. Will you  be sad to see it go even though you didn't know it existed? I wonder how many things of which we are totally ignorant are dying around us?
