According to The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, “Some 90 to 95% of old growth [redwood] forest has been felled since, and the remainder is now almost entirely in parks and reserves.” More at NPR.

what an amazing photo …. the tree is beautiful
That is a awsome photo! Someday I hope to climb a Redwood Tree!
This was also shown in the Nat Geo Explorer show. It was just put online a few days ago.

Is there any where to purchase this in a high megapixal print? I would love this shot framed in my house but I can’t find anywhere to purchase it.
@ Mnt Fire about the purchase question
You might serach for the M. D. Vaden redwood page and read through it. There’s tons of information. It’s like the Nexus of coast redwood stuff. There may be a link or suggestion about this photograph and ordering. I met one person last year who said they owned the photo, but don’t know when they bought it. Some people think its Hyperion the tallest, but it looks different from the limited pics I’ve seen. Not only that, but the Nat Geo photo looks like a flat land redwood. And I read that Hyperion is on some slope near Lady Bird Johnson grove. But its still an awesome looking tree.
