Baobab

""Panoramic in proportions yet intimate in detail. . . [These] textured portraits glow with an inner luster, and Moon’s accompanying journals express a sense of wonder mixed with melancholy; these giants. . . may not survive another thousand years."" - Laurence A. Marschall, Natural History ""Baobab is photographer Beth Moon’s tribute to the magnificent, threatened trees upon which cultures and ecosystems depend… In the face of such monumental losses, the photographs in Baobab amount to an 'act of defiance.'"" - Rebecca Foster, Foreword Reviews ""In 2018, Bay Area photographer Beth Moon learned that Tsitakakoike, an enormous sacred baobab tree, had split and toppled in a forest in Madagascar. In short order, Ms. Moon flew to the African island nation and arranged to photograph some of its oldest baobabs, which are under siege from drought and climate change. The results can be seen in her new book “Baobab” (Abbeville Press)."" - Peter Saenger, Wall Street Journal ""In her oversize black-and-white photo book, Baobab (Abbeville Press, November 2021), Moon pays tribute to these endangered succulents, with dozens of breathtaking duotone portraits of some of the oldest baobab trees in Madagascar, Botswana, South Africa, and Senegal."" - Architectural Digest Beth Moon will be in the upcoming HBO documentary ""Trees & Other Entanglements"" which premieres on 12/12/23 in the USA. - HBO on YouTube trailer
