Sub Saharan Africa, Madagascar. Introduced old trees are found in India
Discovered this old Baobab tree in the financial district of Hyderabad. The tree is facing danger as a lot of construction material is being dumped around it. Trying to run a campaign to save it. These picture have been taken over a period of 6 months to show the changes in the tree in different seasons.A large African tree from semi arid areas. It is an introduced species in India and only a few ancient trees survive. One such tree I found in Nanakramguda Village in Hyderabad city. This part of town is getting converted in IT park and the tree is in danger of getting cut down.

Thanks SatyenM and injica, made the changes as suggested.
Green activism rules! <3 finger crossed that this tree will witness many more centuries!
This is a lovely spotting and you are doing a great job by saving it. Please move your pic with the humans in in as the last pic for this spotting. It gives an idea of the size but our main focus is the species itself. Thanks in advance!
