The World’s Largest Living Organism

Utah is home to the largest living organism on earth: Pando. Latin for “I spread,” Pando is an aspen forest with a massive, interconnected root system. The good news: Pando supports amazing biodiversity and provides an ideal setting for scientific study. The bad news: it’s dying.
