Esi sithuba sesesibini kuthotho. Namhlanje, siva kuJoe Liszewski, uMlawuli oyiNtloko weCalifornia ReLeaf.
Umthi welizwe laseCalifornia (kunye neRedwood, umzala wayo) ngomnye wemithi endiyithandayo, akunakwenzeka ukuba ukhethe enye xa usebenza kwishishini lomthi! Zinkulu kwaye mhlawumbi imithi emikhulu ephilayo emhlabeni. Ii-sequoia ezinkulu zinokuphila iminyaka engama-3,000 ubudala; owona mzekelo mdala urekhodiweyo udlule iminyaka engama-3,500. Kum, ngokwenene babeka yonke into ngokwembono kwaye banokukuzalisa ngokumangalisayo, becinga ukuba into ingaba yinto enkulu kwaye indala. Ubuhle kunye nobungangamsha babo yinto esinokuyilwela sonke.
Kum, iisequoias ezinkulu zikwabonelela ngebali lokulumkisa. Into ebikhe yafunyanwa kulo lonke elamantla ehemisphere ngoku ifumaneka kuphela kwimithi ethe saa ecaleni kwethambeka elingasentshona leentaba zeSierra Nevada. Ayikuko ukuba siya kuphulukana neentlobo zezilwanyana kumahlathi ethu asezidolophini, kodwa ukuba asiyibeki ixabiso elaneleyo kwindima ebalulekileyo edlalwa ngamahlathi kwiiyadi zethu, kwiipaki zethu, ecaleni kwezitrato zethu nakwizixeko needolophu zethu. Ndiyathemba ukuba ngenye imini izixeko kunye needolophu zethu ziya kuba nesigqubuthelo esinamandla kangangokuba siya kukwazi ukuphuma kwiingcango zethu zangaphambili kwaye sifumane iimvakalelo ezifanayo ezikhuthazwa yi-sequoias enkulu, ukuba ngokwenene siya kuhlala kwihlathi lasezidolophini.
