Fernando had a deep love for desert communities, especially Joshua Tree, a place he often visited while in Southern California. During one of those trips in the early 2000s, a chance conversation with a park ranger deeply moved him"”he learned that the iconic Joshua trees were slowly dying due to environmental pollution and water scarcity.
