Nijhuis/"Taking Wildness in Hand: Rescuing Species"

Michelle Nijhuis' article "Taking Wildness in Hand" claims that in order to save a species of trees that is mysteriously dying out, the tree must be moved to a colder climate than Florida. This moving has been named "assisted migration." Many are opposed to this movement because of the unforeseen effects. Based on past attempts to something similar, nothing good can come of it. The trees might die out anyway, or cause problems for the existing ecosystem. Those who are for the assisted migration argue that this might be the only way to save the species. They do, however have to decide HOW the trees can be moved. It is assumed that they CAN be moved in the first place. For the opposers, it is the general belief that there will be problems if the species is moved through "assisted migration."
