In the heart of Kinshasa, the last baobab tree could disappear. Activists are working hard to protect this giant tree and the soul of the city.
In Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, buildings are growing everywhere and trees are disappearing. But one treasure remains: the last baobab in the city center, a huge and very old tree that tells the story of the city.
Recently, a construction project threatened the baobab. A small group of activists and local people came together to protect it. They say saving the tree means saving the soul of Kinshasa and keeping a connection to nature and history.
Children can help too: by drawing the baobab, talking about it at school, or planting trees in their neighborhood. Every action counts to protect the planet and the green treasures of our cities!
