Kapok tree
There is a very large kapok tree near the village of Boa Entrada, standing at the bottom of a valley, 400 m above sea level. It is the largest tree on Santiago and, probably, in the whole of the Republic of Cape Verde. The kapok tree is about 25 m high and was identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a colony of purple herons.{{cite web |url= http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/factsheet/kapok-tree-boa-entrada-iba-cape-verde |title= Kapok tree, Boa Entrada |access-date=2018-08-20 |work= Important Bird Areas factsheet |publisher= BirdLife International |year=2018 }}
