'Lemur' Illustration by Christian Montenegro⠀ ⠀ Lemurs are one of the world’s most endangered group of mammals. ⠀ ⠀ Madagascar has a unique habitat, but one that is in crisis. Habitat loss, deforestation and overpopulation are putting a major strain on the country’s natural resources. Each year 302,000 hectares of forest, equivalent to the area of Lancashire, disappears, of which almost 95% is untraceable deforestation. A distinctive ecology, with 90% of all plant and animal species found on the island including 61 species of lemurs found nowhere else on Earth.⠀ ⠀ @RichardFeildenFoundation @Bristolzoo, @GrantAssociates @buroHappold @lemur.conservation.foundation ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #savethelemur #lemurconservation #madagascar #mklf #lemurfund
