DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SILKY SIFAKA?

Silky sifaka (Propithecus candidus)

Sadly the people in Madagascar see wild lemur meat as a DELICACY!

There are roughly 250 mature individuals remain in the wild, the Silky sifaka is one of the three rarest lemurs in Madagascar.

Their habitat is being destroyed, the Rosewood trees are cut down as they are very valuable and the Silky sifaka's are declining!

The Silky's are locally known as the "ghosts of the forest" in Madagascar and unless hunting and habitat destruction stops then the Silky's will truly be a ghost...

DID YOU KNOW THAT SPIX MACAW'S EXISTED?

The Spix Macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii)

But can the species make a come back in the wild?
