Description

Allée Des Baobabs - Morondava - Madagascar - Africa

La majestueuse allée des Baobabs est un groupe de baobabs qui bordent la route de terre entre Morondava et Belon'i Tsiribihina dans la région de Menabe dans l'ouest de Madagascar. C'est une zone protégée depuis 2007. Cet ensemble spectaculaire constitue une attraction touristique notoire et c'est l'un des sites les plus visités de la région. Une douzaine d'arbres de 30 mètres de hauteur bordent cette avenue, de l'espèce Adansonia grandidieri, endémique de Madagascar. Les baobabs, vieux de plus de 800 ans, connus localement sous le nom de renala (malgache pour mère de la forêt), sont un héritage des forêts tropicales denses qui ont prospéré à Madagascar. Les arbres n'ont pas grandi isolément dans ce paysage sec et broussailleux mais ont fait partie d'une forêt dense aujourd'hui disparue (il ne reste plus que 10 % de forêts primaires aujourd'hui dans le pays). Au fil des années, avec l'augmentation de la population du pays, les forêts ont été abattues pour l'agriculture, laissant seulement les baobabs, que les locaux préservent aussi bien par respect que pour leur valeur en tant que source de nourriture et matériaux de constructions.
