They can remind us that survival, rarely solitary, can mean attachment and adaptation. They suggest, too, that life is rarely solitary, and that what appears small or still may be profoundly connected to the fate of an entire landscape. Yet they are often overlooked. Due to lack of attention, visibility, and study, lichens are among the least recognized organisms from a conservation planning perspective and are among the most threatened of any class of organisms. They represent arguably one of the last frontiers of biodiversity discovery for organisms in western North America. To look closely at lichens is therefore to confront a larger question—what else have we failed to see simply because they keep time on a larger timescale?Erin Espelie is an Associate Professor and Chair of Department Chair of Cinema Studies & the Moving Image Arts at CU Boulder, where she co-founded NEST (Nature, Environment, Science & Technology) Studio for the Arts in 2017.
