Lichen growing on volcanic rock in Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona. According to the U.S. Forest Service, lichen is a unique combination of algae and fungus that, due to a very beneficial relationship, can survive for thousands of years, even in the harshest of conditions. It is very sensitive to environmental changes, and scientists study it to help determine the amount and types of pollutants present in the atmosphere around it. So why should you care about lichen? Lichen can filter the toxins in the air and makes it safer for humans to breathe. The earth is so smart, and we need to protect it, because even though we can’t always see it, it’s protecting us, too!
