Queen of Trees

Category: Conservation | Date: Nov 27 2007 | By: admin

Phew. Am I glad to be posting something positive or what!

On 7 December 2007 View Finders Ltd will screen the award winning film the Queen of Trees, at the Oshwal Centre, Ring Road Westlands (opposite Nakumatt Ukay). Queen of Trees is the extraoridnary story about the African fig tree and the special relationship it has with a tiny insect partner - the fig wasp. The film is set against Africa and its wildlife. This extraordinary relationship is the basis for a complex web of dependency that supports animals from ants to elephants.

All proceeds will go to the East African Wild Life Society and Kenya Wildlife Service.

The relationship between the fig tree and the fig wasp is a very interesting one indeed! The two parts depends on one another in order to survive and has been documented several times by Discovery channel, National Geographic, BBC, and some others. I´m very happy to hear this good news!
