Killing the Rainforests of Madagascar is Killing Humanity

Forest destruction is a major problem in various parts of the world, and Madagascar is no exception. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world in the east of Mozambique (CIA), part of the Indian Ocean and southern Africa. It is one of the poorest countries in the world with an area of ​​only 224,533 square miles, twice the size of Arizona. Poaching trees, plants, wildlife were always a problem on the island, but how do I why and why they started to increase recently dramatically and how native American beliefs can help this situation I would like to discuss

Madagascar is known for its leopard-like cat primate (but you know it now). Among over 100 different lemurs, indri is the biggest lemur. Indris lives in the tropical rainforest of eastern Madagascar along the Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor, the key to the biodiversity of Madagascar. They measure between 50-75 cm (without a tail) and weigh up to 10 kg. However, due to wildlife hunting, loss of habitats, and illegal pet trading, they are threatened with serious threats. Last year, their population exceeded 10,000 people. Indolis is one of the species protected by NPI. Donate to our live event to help them

Madagascar suffers from environmental deterioration in most of its land. The majority of the third of eastern Madagascar once covered with tropical rainforests is now barren or wasteland. As native plants are harvested and burned for fuel use, many areas such as spiny forests that include many of the unique rare animal and plant species of such islands gave way to the cactus bush . "About 80% of the original vegetation is destroyed and the majority of the terrain is currently degrading the grasslands" (Oldfield, 2002)

Forests are being destroyed rapidly. Almost 90% of the West African rainforest has been destroyed. Since the arrival of mankind, Madagascar lost two-thirds of the original rainforest. With current speed, the Indonesian tropical rain forest withdraws within 10 years and Papua New Guinea withdraws within 13 to 16 years. According to the Rainforest Rescue Report, especially in Indonesia, the important reason for the increase in the deforestation rate is the expansion of oil palm plantation to respond to the increasing demand for cheap vegetable fat and biofuels. In Indonesia, the production of palm oil reaches 9 million hectares, and together with Malaysia it produces about 85% of the world's palm oil.
