Mumbai has 120 endangered African Baobab trees and one of them, in Santacruz, will have to make way for an infrastructure project. Nature lovers and environmentalists are not happy with this and are demanding that it be saved.

The tree native to Africa, also known as the Tree of Life, was brought to the country over a thousand years ago by Abyssinian and Portuguese traders. According to a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) tree census done few years back, Mumbai has 120 baobab trees and this exotic species has also been announced as endangered by United Nations.
