I do hope this situation can improved and we need to appreciate what we get from mother earth, sending love to take action to protect her!!
These trees a very sacred and this is truly sad that they are not being well taking care of
One main reason the trees aren't recovering is partly over harvesting, but old ways of cutting the trees. They cut way to deep into the tree's heart wood making it difficult for the trees to heal, a tree severely damaged will not produce viable seeds due to this damage. There's a few of us working hard propogating these trees through growing them for seed production, and growing from cuttings. I now have currently 8 species of boswellia and around 20 trees of various ages. We try to practice conservation through horticulture, but its a long process to grow the trees from seed b. sacra/carteri only have an 8-10% germination rate.
I'm curious have you ever tried to grow Aquilaria trees in the US?
@@liracul no not as of yet.
I am sure everyone who cares for the environment appreciates your effort in pre serving these sa cred trees. I believe there should be an establishment that educates the people in these countries to maintain a sustenable way in propagating the trees and harvesting the resin.
So why aren't these people propagating the trees on a large scale instead of over harvesting the older mature trees. I've been growing 7 species of boswellia for a few years now and honestly they're not hard to propagate or grow at all, and if I can do this in Florida it seems to me it should be even easier to do where they're an indigenous species.
And maybe even make more money by selling a few trees to collectors such as myself.
Can they be grown indoors?
how long do they take to grow?
Raqib Zaman yes they can grow indoors with proper light.. I bonsai some
Kyle A How long is a variable question usually 10 years or more for resin production, and most exude resin without cutting naturally. One would not want to cut a tree less than 3 inch diameter branches. And only 2 times yearly.
so is it viable to cultivate these commercially @ 2 harvest a year after ten years?
That's awesome that you Bonsai trees!!! can you harvest from them?
I ask Allah to protect somalia and soomali people from anyone who wants to hurm aamiiiìiìiiin
Allah is in reality Satan....

This is so sad. Something so precious and part of a way off life should be protected!!
The government should regulate the laws and make illegal to harvest more than one time a year and limited amount to preserve the species it’s what Latin American countries had done with palo santo or holy wood 🪵 wow I feel soo sorry for what it’s happening to these ancient trees they give soo much life and healing to us and the earth
What an absolutely painful thing to watch. I'm torn between the two emotions of total sadness for those beautiful ,loving,giving trees.......or my INTENSE FURY to make those responsible pay for that travesty.......... I do think about the poorest peole on earth trying to survive survive day vs just plain evil greedy harvesters.... and it is a absurdly difficult thing to try to come to a rational conclusion for. I pray these farmers and this wonderful woman come upnwith a working solution. 🙏💚🙏

Very informative video. I like the background music and there are many sites that you guys visited which really indicate that these trees are over harvested and something has to be done ASAP to resolve the situation. I admire the work that you have done thus far and flagging these problems is so valuable to the environment and to the people of Somaliland. Well Job done Honey and kudo to Stephen and the rest of your team for putting this video!!
This is the territory of the state of Puntland in Somalia, and there is no representation of the militias that Britain supports and is called Somaliland.
no its somaliland not somalia
i believe Niacin in the soil would help create the sap from which Frankincense is made.
I dont believe the trees are dead but rather, they are deeply dormant. They can be revived if feed the proper nutrients. The energy can be re-awakened. If they are still rooted in the ground they can be saved.
ten minutes into this doco,,, cant help but wonder if anyone ever thought to plant some trees? instead of just raping what is there?
This is so sad, seeing these holy trees being treated so badly.
I would like to know how the situation looks there today.
I believe that frankeinscent tree n it's gum is a blessing of Almighty God, for His worship betn Him n men or nations. Please preserve them, if we destroy them God will be enrage with us forever.
The idea of propagating and planting more trees are awesome but have we considered consuming less of what these trees offer or anything else for that matter?
Who the eff is we?
Wet informative! Thanks for sharing:)
so you with your camera you never spoke to thsoe guys about jachere?
what does your research suggest as far as the reproduction cycle of those trees and what's the geological environment?
Thank you.
Oh man, so not good. Sad.
Thank you for informing me.
Why this is happening in this area only not the rest of the other areas which have the same trees, my idea is the original owners was displaced during the tribal wars in sanaag. Like Gahayle and the minorities which the isaq tribe took over their land.
thats a lie this land sanaag somaliland has always belonged to isaaqs we were known traders giving frankensense to different civilizations
This boils my blood, more than 90% Cal Madow mountain is located within Somalia not Somaliland. Theres a land dispute where Cal Madow is located between Somaliland and Puntland and it doesn't belong to one side or the other
A clear indication that our wannabe expert DeCarlo knows nothing about the geography of the area and much less about frankincense.
Prince of Puntland you need to study geography before you claim land that your people don't belong. apart from that, get the point of the big picture.
hhhhhhhhhh cal madow is located in Somaliland. this isn't las caanood I'm from ceerigaabo and we are 100% somalilanders. fuck bintland. and cal madow is 80% prosent inside Somaliland and its inhabited by habar jeclo and habar yoonis.
Common what ever they they are still Somalian
Thats true i inherited som from my Dad
Reminds me of the Lorax story, a little bit. How can we help.?
They need to cultivate not just harvest
I hope they propagate really fast
From large rooted cuttings planted in ground its takes 5-7 years to become a good sized tree. They grow fairly quick.
are u sure how do they get the seeds to plant them again after they die@@toddstropicals
I heard the Catholic Church uses hundreds of tonnes of frankincense
yea they get it from somaliland where it has the sacred one only grown there which was found in ancient egyptian tombs their decendents moved down into this area
To order frankincense visit www.puresacra.com they have both Boswellia Carteli and sacra
Is this unsii?
No it's foox 😊
Wow
oyagaa mi dhaa sumeeyeen
Many points that was told is not accurate. The locals were led to the answers as per translation. It was reported that 60K of resins has been produced annually in Madarmuge and 5 year later the produce is 15K. This is absurd. The guy that has claimed that they pay local artisans to give rest the trees for 4 month is not true. the traders only gets as much resins as they can to lowest price. They don't care the trees. counter check his claim with tree owners.
The trees has been over harvested and there's no propagation of the trees yet the extent of the over harvesting and misuse is not as reported. Very fabricated.
Ascwrwb A. Nasir. Send me your number bro. Wanna ask you something about propagation. Thanks
Almadow is in puntland, daalo mountains are in erigavo.
Somaliland, Sanaag and erigavo are somaliland,
If u talk about qabiil,
@@banuhaashim9539 somaliland is in Somalia.
@@ahmedzahir2865 jus leave it bro it’s somaliland
@@misterbk1791 does it matter? I mean who cares they're just pretty mountains
@@ahmedzahir2865 it does you literally made a false claim so delete your comment or stop being bipolar Somali land isn’t Somalia we despise your previous leaders due to their atrocities also i am from that region the warsengeli clan please ur claims are false
Damn 😧💔💔
45 year old is an "elder" commenting on a 60 year old tree? 😳
Maybe become more civilized and create tree groves like the rest of the world. All I see is taking, not replacing.
damnit
Coleagues you done well
I can’t believe they got out of there alive.
stupid Calmadow 100% belongs to puntland/Somalia .
no its somaliland
Frankincense is overrated
