Broad belts of
pine and birch forest around the town of Monchegorsk are being destroyed
by pollution from a nickel plant. Trees, even dozens of miles away,
die of acid rain and thus are susceptible to forest fires.
Conservationists mark the few surviving trees in some parts of the forest
with red flags and labels to monitor their survival.
