Happy World Environment Day!
Everyone alive now is part of the 1st generation to experience the devastating effects of land degradation, drought, & climate change – & may be part of the last generation able to do something about it.
We cannot turn back time, but there is GOOD NEWS. We can grow forests, harvest rainwater, eat soil-friendly diets & fight climate change. We are the generation that can make peace with land.

Scientists have solved the mystery of the origins of ancient baobab trees (Tree of life).
According to DNA studies, the iconic trees first arose in Madagascar 21 million years ago.
Their seeds were later carried on ocean currents to Australia and also to mainland Africa, evolving into distinct species.
The researchers are calling for greater conservation efforts for the trees, which they say may be closer to extinction than previously thought.
Baobabs are known as "the tree of life" or "upside down tree" for their strange shapes and longevity. They are in trouble because of climate change and widespread deforestation.
Baobab trees are the most abundant species in Mandu town, located in Madhya Pradesh. Historically, the Bhil tribe has been responsible for preserving these trees. For centuries, baobab trees have been a source of livelihood for the tribal population in the Mandu district of Madhya Pradesh.Scientists have solved the mystery of the origins of ancient baobab trees (Tree of life).

The power of trees in cities.
8 reasons for greener streets:
Air Cleaning: Trees absorb harmful pollutants and clean the air.
❄ Cooling Effect: Trees provide shade, reducing urban heat.
Carbon Capture: Trees absorb CO2, combating climate change.
Energy Saving: Shade from trees lowers air conditioning costs.
Noise Barrier: Trees muffle urban noise pollution.
🌧 Flood Control: Trees absorb and filter rainwater.
🕊 Support Wildlife: Trees are homes for many animals.
Real Estate: Trees increase the real estate value.
The more space we give trees in our cities, the better!
