An old baobab tree can create its own ecosystem: it supports the life of countless creatures, from the largest of mammals to the thousands of tiny creatures scurrying in and out of its crevices.When they do die, they simply rot from the inside and suddenly collapse, leaving a heap of fibres, which makes many people think that they don't die at all, but simply disappear. They can be burnt or stripped of their bark, and they will just form new bark and carry on growing.

Venetia Mine has successfully relocated a total of 110 baobab trees since 2008. For when a tree really has to be disturbed, the mine’s environmental team has pioneered the technique of transplanting fully grown baobab trees – with a 100 per cent success rate.
These trees are classified as a protected species.īelieving that the impact of mining must be managed in a responsible way, the team at Venetia goes to great lengths to prevent disturbing baobab and other protected trees onsite. The mine and its surrounding areas are home to the baobab tree, a bushveld succulent scientifically known as the Adansonia digitata. Tarryn Rae Genis, from De Beers, said: “Our team provided technical expertise in performing an environmental assessment and conducting a risk assessment, then moving and monitoring the tree, which is now flourishing and clearly visible upon leaving the town.” The mine was recently called on to help the Musina Local Municipality in the Limpopo Province and construction company Terra Viva transplant a 28-tonne baobab tree from the main parking area of the new Musina Mall to a roundabout 200 metres from the entrance to a new shopping complex.
