L'Arbre del Teneré

The story of our Ténéré tree is a tale of roots, lights and shadows

The Ténéré tree was an acacia that was considered, for a long time, the loneliest and most isolated tree on Earth. The last survivor of a group of trees that grew when the desert was much less dry than today, a time when the sand was full of lakes and life. But desertification came and our tree spent decades in solitude. Until, at the beginning of the 20th century, a caravan of tuaregs in the direction of Niger discovered it and it became a referential and revered tree. In 1974, a drunk driver crashed into him, ending his life.
