For Arbor Day, learn about one of the world’s oldest giant trees and is the most iconic and valuable plant species in Madagascar — The Baobab Tree.
Generating income through tourism, nutrition and medicine through its fruit and natural water storage ability, the Baobab provides natural resources for local people. Dr. Seheno Andriantsaralaza is a recipient of The Explorers Club Discovery Expedition Grant and she will lead a new study into seed dispersal and provide sustainable solutions of this essential resource to benefit future generations in one of the poorest nations in the world.
The Explorers Club, a non-profit world leader in exploration, and Discovery Channel have partnered to create an Explorers Club Discovery Expedition Grant program to further advance significant exploration and scientific discovery.
