Like Brighton in the UK in the article, in Iowa the predominate tree in towns as well as in the creek bottoms and woodlands was the elm. The American elm was just as susceptible to the blight as its European cousins, and it seemed like almost overnight half the trees in the state died.

The fires in Australia were devastating. Some species have a specific requirement like they only nest in one type of tree or they eat only one type of nut. I believe zoos have stepped in to try to save those species.
