"Camels enlisted to protect Joshua trees in national park"

Deadly wildfires and climate change have put the iconic Joshua tree at risk of disappearing, prompting human volunteers to plant thousands of sprouts in burn scars. To aid in this effort, camels have been enlisted to carry water, heavy sprouts, and supplies to remote locations in the Mojave National Preserve. The use of camels harks back to their historic role in the region and offers a potential solution to restore Joshua tree forests after wildfires, especially in the face of hotter and drier conditions.
