The majority of Madagascar's terrestrial biodiversity is found in its low altitude forests, the same forests that support the livelihoods for a large percentage of the country's population. Forests provide wood, non-timber forest products, and water for the rice-growing rural population, yet only around 15 percent of the land surface remains forested, largely as a result of expanding slash-and-burn agriculture, grazing, and uncontrolled wildfires. Illicit logging of precious hardwoods, mining, and the hunting of lemurs, bats, birds, and the island's main predator the fossa, also pose serious threats to the ecological integrity of this important landscape. Collection of species for the illegal pet trade has also had a major impact on populations, of tortoises and chameleons in particular. The survival of Madagascar's numerous endemic freshwater fishes is compromised by environmental degradation, overexploitation, and invasive exotic species.
The Madagascar Fish Eagle is endangered because of deforestation, human contact, and wetland habitat invasion.
The Madagascar sifaka is endangered for several reasons. These reasons are wood logging, habitat disturbance, hunting for their meat, and slash-and-burn agriculture.
Madagascar
a lemur
The silky sifaka is not extinct. It iIs critically endangered.
Lemurs are typically found in the forests that remain on the periphery of the island, since most of the central part of the island has been deforested. Lemur population density is highest in the rainforests along the eastern coast of Madagascar.
Zoboomafoo (or sometimes Zoboo) is a Madagascar Lemur. Specifically, it is a Coquerel's Sifaka.
Zoboomafoo is a sifaka lemur. Funding for Zoboomafoo is provided by Danimals and by Viewers Like You. Thank you.
