#comservation

Madagascar bright-eyed treefrog (Boophis madagascariensis) active at night into the secondary forest along the road close to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. Some species can thrive well even in secondary forest, but many others will not survive when the primary one is cut and Madagascar is on the brink of collapsing. My trip there into the central-eastern part showed me endless poverty. If a miracle will not happen soon, the society and the biodiversity of this amazing place is doomed. And I'm an endless optimist! So, enjoy this image, but think about the hundreds of other frog species living in the same primary forest, think of lemurs or whatever you prefer, but make your part on saving this island and his society from losing everything. #iknowitsmonday #butkeepcaring #predator #predatoridelmicrocosmo #thehunt #frog #amphibians #treefrog #boophis #madagascar #madagascariensis #brighteyed #wideanglelens #wideanglemacro #intonature #forest #comservation #1frame4nature #1f4n #night (presso Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, Madagascar)

The silver-backed chevrotain is neither deer nor mouse but is the world’s smallest ungulate (or hoofed animal). The rabbit-sized creature is hunted by leopards, wild dogs and pythons, but scientists believe hunters’ snares have pushed it to the brink of extinction. It had not been seen in the wild for 30 years until it was spotted foraging in a forest in southern Vietnam. Lead scientist An Nguyen from Global Wildlife Conservation said he was “overjoyed” to find it. The findings were published in Nature Ecology and Evolution. - Photograph: Getty

It may not be a turtle but this baby Slow Loris is yet another victim of the illegal wildlife trade. It is imperative that we mitigate the trade for the sake of all species including our own.
