Description

A spectacular oversize photo book celebrates Africa's majestic baobabs, which are facing an unprecedented ecological threat. These ancient trees can live over 2,000 years and store massive amounts of water in their trunks, but they are now dying off due to drought and climate change. Photographer Beth Moon has undertaken a new photographic pilgrimage to document the surviving baobabs and bear witness to this environmental catastrophe. Her book presents breathtaking duotone tree portraits from Madagascar, Botswana, South Africa, and Senegal, accompanied by a moving diaristic text and an essay by Adrian Patrut, leader of a research team studying Africa's largest baobabs. This book is not only a compelling photo book and travel narrative but also a timely ecological warning.
