Harongue wood,<\/span> native to Mauritius, Madagascar and other tropical African countries, will grow rapidly and abundantly, and,<\/span> unlike invasive exotic plants that choke out native species, become a nurturer and facilitator of biodiversity… It interacts with over 125 animal and plant species. It restores soil fertility, creates a canopy in just a few years, and in so doing prevents exotic species from returning. Harongue wood also produces a lot of fruit, both its own and that of host species, which birds and bats feed on, facilitating their dispersal… <\/p>\n

After reviewing the numerous scientific publications on this pioneering plant, Fran\u00e7ois Baguette demonstrated its positive effect on liana and epiphyte communities,<\/span> such as orchids and ferns. Little studied, these plants are nevertheless highly threatened… Yet they play an essential ecosystem role, providing food and habitat for numerous organisms and storing water in the canopy. The researcher has shown that over a period of 30 years, harongue wood supports the development of as many epiphytes and lianas as other multi-centenary species. In this way, it acts as a “refuge” for many native species, naturally re-starting the process of ecological succession by recreating the prerequisites for the development of a rich, balanced forest… <\/p>\n
