==Kapok tree==
There is a very large [[Ceiba pentandra|kapok tree]] near the village of Boa Entrada, standing at the bottom of a valley, 400&nbsp;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&nbsp;m high and was identified as an [[Important Bird Area]] (IBA) by [[BirdLife International]] because it supports a [[bird colony|colony]] of [[purple heron]]s.<ref name=bli>{{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 }}</ref>
