Residents in Boron and Desert Lake, California have spoken out against a project to clear out thousands of Joshua trees to make room for solar panels.
A project to install solar panels around the Mojave Desert has begun cutting down thousands of Joshua trees, much to the residents’ chagrin. The Los Angeles Times reported several citizens across Boron and Desert Lake have begun noticing effects from the Aratina Solar Project, a 2,300-acre government-approved plan to produce clean energy through solar panels. The project is expected to produce 530 megawatts of renewable energy.
Joshua trees are already under threat from climate change and human activities,' it continued. 'According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, these trees could lose 90% of their habitat by the end of this century if current trends continue. Allowing this project to proceed would accelerate their decline. We need sustainable energy solutions that do not come at the cost of irreplaceable natural treasures.
