A lone acacia tree stands sentinel on the sweeping Serengeti plains, its distinctive umbrella-shaped canopy etched against tumultuous storm clouds while a small bird finds refuge among its branches. This keystone species, sometimes called the "tree of life" in East Africa, provides essential habitat for countless organisms, fixes nitrogen in nutrient-poor soils, offers critical food sources during drought, and creates microhabitats that sustain biodiversity across the savanna ecosystem.
