你见过更大的树吗?(Have you ever seen a bigger tree?)
今天,我们在1890年庆祝红杉国家公园成立时,迈出了理解自然奇观的第一步。该公园拥有1600多平方公里的生物多样性,保护着数千年来的幸存者巨型红杉。通过研究83米高11米宽的生物谢尔曼将军,我们直接与我们星球的过去联系在一起。至关重要的是,将这些宝藏视为我们自己文化遗产的一部分,就像装饰欧洲的城堡、宫殿和国家公园一样。自然和人类历史交织在这些红杉的根源之间,教我们,就像艺术和历史一样,自然是一个没有墙壁的教室。

Today, as we celebrate the establishment of Sequoia National Park in 1890, we take the first step towards understanding natural wonders. The park has over 1600 square kilometers of biodiversity and protects giant redwood trees that have survived for thousands of years. By studying General Sherman, a creature 83 meters high and 11 meters wide, we are directly connected to the past of our planet. It is crucial to consider these treasures as part of our own cultural heritage, just like decorating castles, palaces, and national parks in Europe. Nature and human history intertwine between the roots of these redwoods, teaching us that, just like art and history, nature is a classroom without walls.
