Baobab (Adansonia) species are representative of the high biodiversity and endemism rates that place Madagascar in the top three of the countries with the highest biodiversity in the world, yet these precious habitats are under increasing threats from degradation, climate change, and potentially unsustainable fruit harvesting. This is exacerbated by Madagascar’s high poverty rates – some of the highest in the world – where many have little choice but to engage in slash-and-burn agriculture.
