Atreiu (il personaggio dico), sarà stato molto contento che ho partecipato a "pensare #migrante" @baobabexperience

A world without #baobab #trees would be a much diminished place.

Empire with David Olusoga, Series 1: Episode
Really enjoyed this three part documentary. Learned a lot. Some of it predictably grim where humans are concerned but lighter moments later in series include finding out that post WWII converted agricultural tanks sent by Brits to clear forestry in parts of Africa "bounced off" the mighty Baobab trees and brought work to a halt the plans had to be cancelled.🌴💪

Africa: The Secret Life of Baobabs - How Bats and Moths Keep Africa's Giant Trees Alive: [The Conversation Africa] Baobabs are sometimes called "upside-down trees", because their branches look like roots reaching skywards. Of the eight species of baobab in the world, six are confined to Madagascar, one to northern Australia and one species, Adansonia digitata, is found across the savannah regions of continental Africa. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TP7252 #Baobab #Africa #Wildlife #Conservation #Nature

The Grandidier’s baobab (Adansonia grandidieri), also known as the renala, may live to be 300 years old or older—but scientists are unable to confirm their exact age because baobabs don’t produce annual growth rings. This species of baobab is found only in Madagascar’s dry deciduous forests. It can grow as much as 98 ft (30 m) tall, and its trunk can have a diameter of up to 9.8 ft (3 m).
