Why is the Madagascar sifaka endangered?
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.
