Methuselah's Beard lichen is a species living in the boreal forest in Banff National Park. It is endangered because of deforestation and pollution. Lichen is an organism that is made of fungus and usually hangs on the branches of trees. If a tree is cut down, the Methuselah's Beard is no longer able to sustain itself, and dies. Since 400,000 hectares are being cleared in the boreal forest each year, the lichen isnât growing and spreading as quickly.
