I hate when they do apples and oranges comparisons; it renders it almost useless:

"There are an estimated half a million redwoods in the UK... fewer than 80,000 giant sequoias remaining in their native California range."

generic redwoods in UK 500,000, specific giant sequoias in Calif 80,000. It does not say how many specific giant sequoias there are in the UK.



It also doesn’t say how many giant sequoias are in CA. They do grow when planted in CA as well outside their native range. The native giant sequoias live on a tiny fraction of CA’s area, maybe 1%.
