Are the cacti surviving or are they dying from the fire.

I have the same question, so scary to see this landscape.

@ludwigsdiana @k9photo Unfortunately, dying. The desert is not used to burning. Invasive weeds are the culprit and that's what causes the wildfires that we have been having. The desert will take hundreds of years to recover, if it even does.

Bleak but, very visually descriptive. Fav!

heartbreaking, cacti take so long to grow, and invasive weeds will of course be the only ones taking up the terrain again.

After bush fires very bleak, but hope regeneration will take place.
very visual image.

A sad sight. It grows so long and burns so fast.
