San Francisco has a unique treasure - an 80-acre cloud forest only 1000 feet above sea level, in the heart of the city. Now the public university, University of California, San Francisco - one of the world's leading medical schools - plans to destroy 30,000 trees and the whole cloud forest ecosystem. [UPDATE 2017: UCSF has issued another Plan in which it revises its estimate for the number of trees in the forest from around 45,000 to... around 13,000.
