Canary Island palms tower above Melrose Avenue after the sun set on the popular 20th Century symbols of southern California which are fading into history because of a fatal fungus, old age, and city plans to replace them with other trees on October 18, 2006 in Los Angeles, California. Originally imported by 18th century Spanish missionaries, the majestic Canary Island palms grow as high as a 12-story building but are threatened by an always-fatal fungus that is killing them at an alarming rate. 42% have been infected so far. Standing up to the fungus are the native California fan palms, endemic to southern California?s inland deserts, and the Mexican fan palm but all the populations are nearing the ends of their natural lives, having been planted mostly in the early 1900?s. City planners, led by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, intend to plant one millions trees to improve air quality but no palms, having fewer leaves to offset the effects of air pollution than other native varieties. Experts predict that Los Angeles will look very differently in coming decades as oaks and sycamores replace most the iconic palms loved by both tourists and residents.

NAMIE, FUKUSHIMA PREFECTURE - FEBRUARY 27: Police sergeant Yabuki Koshin and Constable Kanno Tomoyasu walk the grounds of Obori Kindergarten whilst on patrol within the 20km exclusion zone around Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, on February 27, 2012 in Namie, Fukushima prefecture, Japan. Police patrol the evacuated 20km exclusion zone, which is in force around the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, and which encompasses six towns and two villages, looking for any signs of burglaries or crime in the now uninhabited zone. The exclusion zone used to be home to approximately 73,000 people but all have been evacuated by the government and are now restricted from returning home due to high levels of radioactive contamination from the explosions at the TEPCO owned Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant following the earthquake and tsunami of March 11 2011.
