BAOBAB: Si queremos descubrir uno de los árboles más curiosos del planeta, no podemos dejar de echar un vistazo al baobab o adansonia. Procedente de África, no destaca por la belleza de su follaje ni por la vistosidad y aroma de sus flores y frutos; más bien, carece de todo esto, y ahí radica su encanto. Con un aspecto casi prehistórico, aunque no alcanza las dimensiones de una secuoya gigante, lo cierto es que a su lado, cualquiera se siente pequeño.

El baobab es una especie muy útil para los pueblos africanos. Da un fruto llamado pan de mono, del tamaño de un pequeño melón (Dcha.) que contiene gran cantidad de vitamina C, se emplea para preparar varias bebidas refrescantes. De la corteza del baobab se extrae una fibra con la que se fabrican cuerdas y cestos. Las hojas hervidas sirven como alimento, e incluso el polen mojado se emplea como pegamento.

Madagascar is unlike any place else on Earth. It has been separated from other land masses for almost a hundred million years. As a result, evolution there has proceeded along a separate track from any other region. The vast majority of plants and animals you will find in Madagascar are unlike anything you may have seen before. In western Madagascar, the Alley of Baobabs is one of those unique landscapes. The Alley is a major regional tourism draw. While tourists spend thousands of dollars on plane tickets, hotels and tours to get there, the people on whose land this marvel exists get nothing. In order to survive, local communities are raising water levels to expand rice paddies that increase the stress on the baobabs. Funded by USAID, Conservation International and the Malagasy NGO Fanamby are working to reverse this situation. They are developing a project to improve the competitiveness among small businesses involved in the tourism supply chain. This video invites you to learn more about the ecotourism project and to cooperate with the conservation efforts to save this natural treasure.
