FAREWELL TO THE GIANT: THE END OF TSITAKAKANTSA 🌳💔
> It is with deep sadness that I see confirmed what I feared and was already writing in October 2025. Tsitakakantsa, the largest baobab ever recorded and measured in Madagascar, is in the process of fading away. A photograph taken this month immediately alerted me. I am sharing the link to the post. Furthermore, my assistant Wilfred Ramahafaly has just had this information confirmed by the village chief. 😞
> The giant has just lost one of its primary branches, a characteristic sign of imminent collapse in these millennial specimens. This is unfortunately the first stage of a progressive death: these colossi do not die all at once, they fragment before returning to the earth. Within two to three years, nothing will remain of this monument of nature, a fantastic being that will have crossed centuries. 🌳⌛
> A devastating loss for biodiversity and Malagasy heritage.
