"Uncertain Fate of Lahaina's Historic Banyan Tree Amidst Increasing Disasters and Loss"

Volunteers in Lahaina, Hawaii are working to save the iconic 150-year-old banyan tree, which survived the devastating Maui fires but was scorched. Arborists and landscapers are providing water, removing ash, and introducing nutrients to stimulate growth in the tree's roots. The team is closely monitoring the tree for signs of recovery, but ultimately, the tree's fate is uncertain. While efforts are being made to save the tree, the focus remains on the mass displacement, destruction, and loss of life caused by the fires.
