Archangel Ancient Tree Archive
Encyclopedia
The Archangel Ancient Tree Archive is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to creating clones of the world's largest trees (such as Giant Sequoias) and planting them in a general effort to reduce the effects of global warming, pollution, and other human-caused hazards on the environment through reforestation
of these trees. In this project, Archangel carefully selects specific trees for specific problems that are presented to the environment and mankind, such as the Black Willow
for filtering water and Giant Sequoias for reducing atmospheric carbon. As Archangel takes the genetic material of the largest ancient trees that have been the most successful in combating human interference with the environment, they don't damage the tree or change the chemical make-up of it; they instead clone it under specified conditions (see micropropagation
) and plant them where they will flourish efficiently. Archangel obtains money by selling the cloned trees (as saplings
) to willing donators and uses the money to help projects that help the environment and to help themselves further their goal to restore the environment.
