Historic Maui Banyan Tree Survives Wildfire But Fate Still Uncertain

Wildfires in Maui have caused widespread damage and multiple fatalities.
Lahaina's 150-year-old banyan tree, a beloved landmark, has been badly burned but is still standing.
The extent of damage to the massive tree remains unclear.
In addition to the banyan tree, other significant cultural sites in Lahaina have been lost.
The fires are part of a concerning trend of climate change-exacerbated wildfires.
