> **Visual Context:** A lone researcher in a yellow shirt surveys a charred forest landscape filled with blackened tree stumps and fallen logs. The CNN headline reads, "WILDFIRES ACROSS THE US ARE CHANGING FOREST LANDSCAPES – AND THE TIPPING POINT MAY BE ON THE HORIZON," illustrating the aftermath of increasingly intense climate-driven wildfires that are overwhelming forests historically adapted to fire.  

> 
> "Researchers across the US are seeing a similar trend — forests that are historically adapted to fire are now often being obliterated by the fast-moving, high temperature wildfires that are becoming increasingly more common with climate change.

These researchers are grappling"
