About 

The Baobab Tree, revered as the Tree of Life, has nurtured life in Africa for millions of years, providing sustenance for humans and animals alike.

Due to climate change and habitat loss, the oldest trees are collapsing and the rarest species of Baobab are becoming endangered.

 

The mission at California Baobabs is to popularize responsible conservation and cultivation of the tree  to increase the amount of these draught tolerant, superfood generating, miracle trees in appropriate biomes throughout the world.

 

This is climate mitigation. Thousands of years from now, our ancestors could reap the benefits of the trees we plant today.
