Mangroves
Mangrove | Rhizophora | Avicennia | Ultrafiltration | Salt Excretion | Pneumatophores | 99% Salt Rejection 90%. That's how much salt this tree blocks — before the water even enters. Three layers of nanoscale pores. An electric charge that pushes sodium away. And inside, up to 60 atmospheres of negative pressure pulling fresh water upward. No pump. No electricity. Just a tree.

Ishi was born around 1861 in the Deer Creek region of Northern California. His Yahi tribe once numbered around 400 people before the 1848 Gold Rush brought miners and settlers. Bounties of 50 cents per scalp and 5 dollars per head were placed on Native Californians. The Three Knolls Massacre killed dozens of Yahi. Ishi and a small group of survivors hid in the wilderness for 44 years. By 1908, his last remaining family had died. On August 29, 1911, dogs cornered the starving Ishi at a slaughterhouse near Oroville. Police arrested him. UC Berkeley anthropologists Alfred Kroeber and Thomas Waterman heard about the discovery and brought him to their museum in San Francisco. For nearly 5 years, Ishi made arrowheads, recorded 148 wax cylinder songs in his lost language, and demonstrated Yahi crafts to thousands of visitors. He died of tuberculosis on March 25, 1916. His recordings remain the largest surviving record of the Yahi language.
