Sacred Sites As Refuges For Native Plant Diversity In An Urbanized Tropical Landscape [Madagascar]

H/T @nicolas Salliou | Senior scientist at ETH Zürich
“When [the authors] investigated the potential for blue-green infrastructures for the capital of Madagascar,… a large team surveyed plant communities along a rural-urban gradient.
They found that 12 Malagasy "sacred" hill settlements, situated in the core of a pre-colonial kingdom, are particularly precious as they host a high diversity of native plants. A key insights when one considers that Madagascar is a unique hotspot for biodiversity and human cultures…”

“In fragmented and intensively managed remnant urban green spaces, enabling natural regeneration is crucial to sustain ecosystem functioning and associated services. Natural regeneration therefore offers an important lens into ecological resilience in human-modified landscapes. Here [the authors] present one of the most comprehensive field-based assessments of urban plant diversity in the Afrotropics, comprising over 25,000 naturally regenerating woody plant individuals of 206 species (39% native) across 329 vegetation patches in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Landscape-level native species diversity declined with greater building complexity, density and socio-economic development, whereas exotic species showed no consistent associations with determinants of urban characteristics. Native species richness was highest in ‘sacred’ forest fragments, many of which contain historic remains dating back to pre-colonial times. Notably, seven of the ten most species-rich patches were located in such sites. [Their] findings highlight the potentially important role of these sites in sustaining native species diversity and indicate how socio-cultural factors can present both opportunities and barriers for tropical urban conservation and restoration...”

So, I came across some of this near the #CommunityGarden, and identified it using #FloraApp as #SpreadingDogbane. Even though it's toxic (all plant parts, so handle with care), it is a #Maine #NativePlant and a favorite of #MonarchButterflies. I just don't want it growing in my community garden plot!
"Spreading dogbane
Scientific name: Apocynum androsaemifolium L.
Common name(s): spreading dogbane, fly-trap dogbane, #bitterroot
Description:
-perennial
-wide spread branching red stems
-can reach up to 2 feet tall
-leaves are opposite
-bell shaped flowers
-spreads through patches of rhizomes
-contains a milky white sap that is toxic to humans
-generally flowers June through August in MEReddish stems 1′-4′ tall grow from horizontal rootstocks, branches smooth and spreading. Oval leaves opposite, 2″-4″ long and 1″-2.5″ wide, often drooping on short stalks. Flowers pinkish, bell-shaped and about 1/4″ wide, seed pods 4″ long and narrow, can be confused with bush honeysuckle. All parts exude white liquid when broken.
-may be confused with A. cannabinum
Habitat:
-disturbed areas
-road sides
-waste areasAgriculture:
-produces nectar as an important food source
-attracts monarch butterfliesNatural History:
-native to North America
-genus “Apocynum” means “away from dog”
-its tough fibers were used to make threads and cords by #NativeAmericans
-the root contains cymarin, a cardiac stimulant" -

#Gardens that Nurture #Culture
Spring 2022
Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.
" 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.
"In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.
"While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."

With periodic fires and other natural processes interrupted, many natural areas have been invaded by aggressive weeds. These plants can take over entire preserves. #Nativeplant communities comprised of hundreds of species are replaced by a few weed species. Removing these invaders is an important step in restoring native biodiversity

#MaineAudubon Webinar - #Serviceberry
Wednesday May 6, 5:30-7 pm
Led by Andrew TuftsFree program, donations encouraged. Registration required.
"Serviceberry marks a key seasonal transition in Maine, blooming as migratory #birds and #pollinators arrive. This webinar examines serviceberry’s role in forest edges, open woodlands, and rocky landscapes, and how these ecologically rich habitats support #biodiversity. Participants will also learn how edge communities translate into parks, trails, and residential landscapes.
Natural Communities & Seasonal Change is a three-part spring learning series that combines monthly webinars with guided field experiences to explore #Maine’s #NativePlant communities through the lens of seasonal #phenology. The series focuses on how #NativeTrees and shrubs signal ecological change, support #wildlife, and shape both natural and human landscapes. Participants will build skills in observation, #PlantIdentification, and reading the landscape as spring unfolds."

Tue Mar 31, 2026 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Estero's River Oaks Preserve
9541 Broadway Ave E, Estero, FL 33928"Estero’s River Oaks Preserve is a passive recreational area with a strong focus on concepts of simplicity, natural/native care of the land, #sustainability, and being 'one with nature.' This property will expose visitors to a lesser-known side of Florida – one with shiny blueberries, #hogplums, #GopherApple, #ButterflyMilkweed and where the gopher tortoises live.
This Project is a partnership between the Coccoloba Chapter of the Florida #NativePlant Society and the Village of #Estero. Support includes USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, #Audubon of Southwest #Florida and others.
Volunteer hours are Sundays and Tuesdays from 9-1. Come check us out!
Throughout the property, you will find:

All three colors of tropical sage, in front of my studio. One thing I find curious about this so-called #NativePlant is that I don’t recall seeing it in the natural landscape. I only ever see it in cultivated gardens. It’s possible I haven’t been to its natural habitat, but I’ve been to so many places in this state that I think it’s strange I haven’t run into it yet.

Red Flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum) This plant has been pushing flowers since early January and is one of many of this species that we have at the house. Planted around our city lot, the flowering season is extended by sun exposure and micro climate that prolongs forage for insects and hummingbirds. This is on the south side of the house and is the first to bloom.
