News: Saving madagascar with Biodivesity Map

Since Madagascar is home to many rare creatures like the aye-ayes, lemurs, geckos with leaf-shaped feet, speckled blue fish, and many others they need to work on protecting these animals habitates. Scientists have recently created a map that pinpoints where these animals live. With this map the government will be able to decided which areas will become national parks to save the animals. The map was very difficult to create said Claire Kremen of the Wildlife Conservation Society. The team of scientists had to spend weeks working under tents to observe the animals in their habitates.They had to keep working through thundering rainfall and hurricanes. But it was worth it agrees Claire Kremen. "Now these rare animals have a much better chance at survival."
