Some animals, like baboons and elephants, also rely on the tree for food and shelter. However, baobab trees are facing threats. Deforestation and climate change are causing their numbers to decline. Scientists are studying these trees to find ways to protect them and ensure their survival for future generations. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1.This passage is most likely taken from ______. （ ） A. a storybook B. a science magazine C. a travel guide D. a cooking recipe 2.Where do baobab trees grow? （ ） A.
