Abstract

That year, scientists studying baobabs in Africa - a close relative of boabs - noticed that some of the older trees were dying out at a surprisingly high rate, potentially due to climate change (SN: 7/7/18, p. 11). Brenda Garstone accompanied a research team on an expedition to find boab trees - and their carvings - in the Tanami Desert. Eager to confirm that the boabs were part of this Dreaming, Garstone, along with her mother, aunt and a scattering of other family members, joined the archaeologists on their mission to rediscover the boabs. Though the Tanami was thought to be outside the boab's natural range, in 2007, he rented a helicopter and crisscrossed the desert in search of the secret stash of boabs. [Extracted from the article]
