Topic Reading-Vol.146-9/4/2012

Dear MEL School's Topic Readers,
Madagascar's bid to save its majestic baobab trees.
Have you ever heard of or seen unique trees often called “upside down trees” in Madagascar, an island country in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa? The island has been isolated from any places, thus it had evolved and kept its unique species and biodiversity for generations. However because of the recent excess deforestation for farmland, they are in danger.
Enjoy reading and seeing the unique trees of the island and think if they could make a successful reforestation to conserve its precious nature.
