Curiosity about me
The important moments in your tree's life.
Let's start with introductions
The baobab is an indigenous tree of Madagascar and widespread throughout Africa. Well-known for its imposing presence, consider that the tree’s diameter can reach a width of 10 meters. Considered the social hub of villages, the baobab’s shade hosts markets, meetings, dances, and games. It’s planted in to assist with the recovery of natural forests.
Meaning
Life
A magical and timeless tree: in African folklore it’s called the "Tree of Life" for its longevity.
How much CO2 I’ll absorb
My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*
Current absorption
- 600 kg
2021
0 kg
2031
-3000 kg
* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.
