Plant Extinction, "Green" Energy, & Perineum Deli Platters

Thanks to Janel Johnson, Patrick Donnelly and Naomi Fraga for help in production of this video. To help save this species (and force Ioneer to put their open pit mine somewhere else nearby where the biological impact will be less devastating) please check out the following link :

Eriogonum tiehmii is a rare buckwheat known from a remote little corner of Nevada. It is an edaphic specialist, which means it is restricted to a special type of soil rich in lithium and boron, having evolved a very specific and special ability to be able to tolerate these generally barren white chalky soils of the high desert. This plant's affinity for these kinds of soils maybe what ultimately dooms it, as %70 of its population is due to be wiped out by a proposed open-pit lithium mine that an Australian mining company named Ioneer wants to develop on the site. If it passes, this plant would be doomed and this beautiful and geologically interesting area would be scarred forever.

Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, beestings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
