I hope this documentary sends a strong message to all those humans who believe that every moving insect needs to be sprayed at and killed instead realise why nature has created insects. They are the most important part of our ecosystem.
I began studying ants in earnest about 5yrs ago. Whole life I've always had coral reef tanks and in them are incredible countless micro species of life, that connects to the whole food chain in a "mature system" (one that's been set up 2-5yrs), that insect life I found was very similar in many many ways, so will probably do a more "professional" set up than just a regular ant hobbyist with access to lots of empty tanks from older days when I had 10 reef tanks instead of the 3 I have now. My avatar is a sea apple I kept alive for 10yrs, that's normally not a real thing that happens but have 35yrs experience. So if you can think of it, you can do it. Watching ants in nature soon became a big hobby disregarding what others might think with me bent down on one knee, just watching them especially if giving the colony a treat.

Had to do it at night too otherwise birds and dogs would get to it first but in the end, it attracted more natural predators like ant eating birds, saw a lizard one time but feeding them scraps, peanut butter, jelly, all kinds of things it was incredible seeing them take care of it like humans might or would. The ancient greeks were mystified by ants I later found out which makes sense. Great thinkers really should ponder on how or why ants do what they do. In ways they're like human beings except for the most part they all agree. Unless it's other ants, then it's war including eating the babies. Bet sometime in the past people probably did that too.
Agreed~ I miss our creepy crawly little friends... I'm so sad they don't swarm the skies and ground like they used to 30 years ago ..... I can't wait to start our own permaculture organic farm. I know it's not much but I'm hoping that our little patch of earth will provide a safe haven for nature as it should be; respected and valued.
Good on you my friend. I am sure when a few people starting in their backyards, educating their kids by being passionate about the nature will indeed create and promote awareness amongst the friends and visitors. If everyone thinks someone else will do it, nothing will happen. Taking that first step no matter how tiny will start the process. The ocean is made of those tiny drops of water and we all are tiny drops creating this massive ocean of human race. We have interfered with nature it is time that we intervene.
A recent study showed that mortality went up when insects were reduced by increased pesticide use. Not that self interest should be the reason for doing something but it really seems like we are at serious crossroads.
In Sudan, we consider the Baobab locally called Tabaldi trees and their fruit is Gongolaiz as a national pride and a cultural treasure... It so dear to us Sudanese, it is part of our identity. By the way, Baobab are extremely resilient and can grow even after being struck by lightning, uprooted, or fallen on the surface of the earth. It never fails to amaze.
Yes 🎉🎉🎉..as a Kenyan growing up in a beautiful village of Meru, we were always told to respect these majestic trees..our elders always taught us that if you go round the tree seven times, your gender would change n it was always viewed as a holy place to this very day..this is one of the many teachings we were taught so that we honor n respect the trees..
i grew up in zimbabwe, every summer my family and i used to go to a place called chirundu for vacation. my fondest memory was visiting a hollowed trunk baobab tree that was home to many bats, boars and various other animals. sometimes you would get lucky and find some baobab fruit, i would give anything to taste that taste again. i loved my childhood, love africa!
Thank you for this wonderful film about the Malagasy way of living in harmony with the environment. I saw this a little bit when I went to Madagascar in 2005 so this was a brilliant reminder of my time there. I was part of a volunteer programme to investigate the environment- I chose to be sea based to use my scuba diving. It was the year of coral bleaching- we were helping in the research of what was causing that. The camelions were and are absolutely amazing their movement and their eyesmovents as well fascinated me.
I wish DW would provide more information about these documentaries and who actually made them. DW is a broadcasting service, and I am sure they didn't actually make the doc themselves.
Boabab tree was the gift my grandfather gave to me in 1995. I was too young to understand all of it. Now I ll send him thousands of thank you to his grave.
I felt calm. The natural sounds were soothing. Serenity and tranquility ensued! Loved every second of this film. I felt as if I'm amidst these green giants! Team DW, you guys did an amazing job!
Such a beautiful and insightful documentary! The baobab tree is truly a wonder of nature, and this film does an incredible job of showcasing its importance and the rich ecosystems it supports. I'm deeply grateful for the care and detail put into this production - it really makes me appreciate the magnificence of the natural world. Thank you to the team at DW Documentary for bringing this captivating story to life! I hope this documentary reaches more people.
moving doc about nature and the balance that must be respected in order for both, nature and humans, survive. Earth was a paradise before humans lost its connection with the environment. Thank you DW
The System (our planetary or solar system) that includes our home planet Earth was an experimental system. To the ants, the chameleons, the pollinators, this ecosystem is like a home planet EcoSys to them, and our planet Earth would be like the Universe to them. Earth is comparable to the Universe. The Universe we call "the universe" is comparable to WHAT then...
There is an epic novel called "Chander Pahar" (Mountain of the Moon) by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay which is an adventure story of a Bengali boy from Bengal, India. In the novel, the author mentioned this Baobab tree very often on several occasions. Ever since I read that novel, I was curious about the Baobab Tree and what it looks like. After that, whenever I read, listen to or see anything about the Baobab tree, it reminds me of the novel. It is sad that no translation is there and people who don't know Bengali couldn't enjoy this great piece. But whoever knows Bengali, this is a must read. Love from West Bengal, India. ❤
@@manumusicmist please read my comment again. I didn't say that Bengal has Baobab trees, I said that there's a great novelist/author in Bengal Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, who had written a Novel named "Chander Pahar", where he had mentioned this Baobab tree very often. That novel is one of the gems in Indian literature if not in World literature.
@@manumusicmist there lies the beauty my dear. He studied books, a lot of books. H. H. Johnston and so many other authors. If you ever come across that book, you too will be mesmerized by how a person, without going to a place, only by reading books and maps had written such a marvellous piece about that place. We should appreciate his imagination capabilities for sure.
The Baobab tree of Kenya(East Africa) is facing a threat. 8 baobab trees exported from Kenya to a botanical park in Georgia die, they were uprooted from Kilifi County to Georgia. Mother nature is facing threats everywhere. From trees to Wildlife! Good documentary.

Bravo DW.
Madagascar is unique and should be protected from flora, fauna, and other contaminants from elsewhere in the world. Thanks DW for the awesome documentary.
I got really sad and teared up a little bit imagining a young Baobab long ago happily watching all the megafauna come to eat its delicious fruit and carry its future children away to start new lives in the sun every year, then the Baobab growing ancient and noticing fewer and fewer megafauna come, until one day none come at all. "Where have all the big animals gone?" It asks itself as all the fruit it prepared for them lay rotting in the shade at its feet. Year after year it asks this, and then, it stops asking at all. 😞
Amazing! To some people, money and luxury life is a blessing to some it's something else; in fact it could be something most underrated in some communities ❤
Or he just doesn't want small children to fall in and drown. People put gates and locks on their swimming pools too when water is not exactly "serious".
This reminds me of the Guillermo Del Toro short called The Hive or something like that. You can find yourself and the universe in such an ordinary tree. It's like poetry.
*🌍🐜 I truly hope this documentary opens people's eyes to the vital role insects play in our world. Instead of seeing them as pests to be eliminated, we should understand their purpose in nature.

The video is about the baobab tree, a unique and fascinating species found in Madagascar. The speaker begins by describing the baobab tree's appearance, noting that it has a massive trunk and a crown of gnarled branches. He also discusses the baobab tree's role in the ecosystem, noting that it provides food and shelter for many animals. The speaker then goes on to discuss the baobab tree's adaptations to its environment. These adaptations include its ability to store water in its trunk, and its ability to survive in drought conditions. Finally, the speaker concludes by discussing the importance of protecting the baobab tree. He notes that the baobab tree is under threat from deforestation and climate change, and that it is essential to conserve this species for future generations.
I used to lived in Tanzania They have baobab tree 🌳 too..one day I went to pembha near to Zanzibar island and I saw one..I just went hug that tree ..many of these grow in Serengeti too. Still have the picture of it.😂😂

I hope this documentary sends a strong message to all those humans who believe that every moving insect needs to be sprayed at and killed instead realise why nature has created insects. They are the most important part of our ecosystem.
I began studying ants in earnest about 5yrs ago. Whole life I've always had coral reef tanks and in them are incredible countless micro species of life, that connects to the whole food chain in a "mature system" (one that's been set up 2-5yrs), that insect life I found was very similar in many many ways, so will probably do a more "professional" set up than just a regular ant hobbyist with access to lots of empty tanks from older days when I had 10 reef tanks instead of the 3 I have now. My avatar is a sea apple I kept alive for 10yrs, that's normally not a real thing that happens but have 35yrs experience. So if you can think of it, you can do it.
Watching ants in nature soon became a big hobby disregarding what others might think with me bent down on one knee, just watching them especially if giving the colony a treat. One time a person asked if I was ok and answered yes, just watching these ants. The more studying I did, the more I found out the show is right. We wouldn't have soil as we know it without these things. Just like coral reefs wouldn't exist without those infinite resource of tiny "bug" things that consume everything that's left over and then help feed the tank itself.
I fed the colony near my house where their numbers grew to an impressive size. They seemed to like fried chicken the most so I'd crack the bones in a plastic bag to make sure they got the marrow. Had to do it at night too otherwise birds and dogs would get to it first but in the end, it attracted more natural predators like ant eating birds, saw a lizard one time but feeding them scraps, peanut butter, jelly, all kinds of things it was incredible seeing them take care of it like humans might or would. The ancient greeks were mystified by ants I later found out which makes sense. Great thinkers really should ponder on how or why ants do what they do. In ways they're like human beings except for the most part they all agree. Unless it's other ants, then it's war including eating the babies. Bet sometime in the past people probably did that too.

Though ive never seen or touched one they have intrigued me since the first time I saw one on a national geographic magazine around 1968
The video is about the baobab tree, a unique and fascinating species found in Madagascar.
The speaker begins by describing the baobab tree's appearance, noting that it has a massive trunk and a crown of gnarled branches. He also discusses the baobab tree's role in the ecosystem, noting that it provides food and shelter for many animals.
The speaker then goes on to discuss the baobab tree's adaptations to its environment. These adaptations include its ability to store water in its trunk, and its ability to survive in drought conditions.
Finally, the speaker concludes by discussing the importance of protecting the baobab tree. He notes that the baobab tree is under threat from deforestation and climate change, and that it is essential to conserve this species for future generations.
