Carlo Kaminski is an experienced graphic designer with a passion for creating unique images for print. The plight of the endangered African wildlife is close to his heart, which is portrayed in his designs. He also produces a range of other interesting designs.
The Baobab Tree
The African Baobab is a remarkable species. Not only because of its size
and lifespan but also in the special way it grows multiple fused stems.
In the space between these stems bark grows - unique to the baobab.
Baobabs also have more than 300 uses. The leaves, rich in iron, can be
boiled and eaten like spinach. The seeds can be roasted to make a coffee
substitute or pressed to make oil for cooking or cosmetics.The fruit pulp has
six times more vitamin C than oranges. The roots can be used to make red dye,
and the bark to make ropes and baskets.
Baobabs have medicinal properties, too, and their hollow trunks can be
used to store water. Baobab crowns also provide shade. Baobab trees are not
only useful to humans, but are also an important source of food, water and
shelter for a wide range of animals.
The death of these oldest and largest baobab trees is very sad, but hopefully
the news will motivate us to protect the world’s remaining large baobabs.
