Baobab (Adansonia digitata)

Baobabs absorb large amounts of CO₂ due to their massive size and canopy spread.

Biodiversity Support: Provides food and habitat for birds, bats, and small mammals. The fruit, leaves, and bark are used by many species.

Water Absorption: The tree stores water in its trunk and branches, helping in regions prone to flooding or dry spells.

Life Cycle: Baobabs are long-living trees, with some living for over **1,000 years**. Growth is slow in the early years, but the tree thrives after its roots are well established.
