In 1993, Zimbabwe experienced a severe drought, one of several during that period. Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall based on its width of 1,708 meters (5,604 ft) and height of 108 meters (354 ft), creating under normal climate conditions the world's largest sheet of falling water.

Government is proposing opening 10 new opencast mines in Baobab country. This will decimate trees hundreds of years old. There is attempts underway to stop them, but I don’t have much hope. Very very sad. #nature #preservation

Also known as the "Tree of Life", the baobab is a symbol of resilience. It provides nutrition, livelihoods, and climate resilience across Africa.

✔️ 5x more vitamin C than oranges – a source of nutrition.

✔️ Stores thousands of liters of water – enabling it to survive harsh droughts.

✔️ Supports food security & income generation – a lifeline for communities.

✔️ A cultural and ecological icon – deeply rooted in Africa’s heritage.

Today, baobab seeds are among the tree seeds being safeguarded by CIFOR-ICRAF in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. This ensures that future generations can continue to benefit from this extraordinary species.
Another #tree picture:
Baobabs probably are my favourite trees. This one, residing in #Zimbabwe, is a particularly fine example.
Did you know a #Baobab is hollow and often conserves water for months, so animals and humans alike use it as a source of water in dry seasons?
They're also providing a micro habitat for a large number of animals - like many trees.
Humans have used them as improvised shelter, prisons, mini-guest rooms or bars - amongst othee things.

Great letter from the three societies

“Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale and trust in the government itself”.

We agree with this statement. However, the claim that the definition of sex and the exclusion of gender identity is based on the best available science is false.

Madagascar, located off the African continent in the Indian Ocean, is the oldest #island of the world. It split off from the Indian subcontinent about 100 million years ago. This old age explains why it is a hotspot of biodiversity and home of exotic life-forms like small ring-tailed lemurs and giant #baobab trees. The biodiversity is a result of Madagascar's long geographic isolation.

Ça alors ! J'ai été bien étonné lorsque j'ai semé des graines de différents baobabs chacals et que ça a poussé, il y a un peu moins de 10 ans, puis que ça a fait des fleurs, puis cet été deux grosses gousse sont apparues sur l'adenum obesum... Et qu'est-ce que je vois ce soir ? Des poils avec des graines ! J'adore ! Seront-elles fertiles ? Suce pince...
