Biodiversity Hotspots: Madagascar (Conclusion)

Conclusion



Madagascar is one of the major biodiversity hotspots of the world and it a very interesting place! The diverse plants and animals make it a very unique place, but action does need to be taken to preserve the hotspot. Because of deforestation from slash and burn agriculture, overexploitation, and introduction of alien species, the populations of these diverse organisms are becoming threatened. Humans need to take action by protecting diverse areas and sustainably collecting resources. We wouldn’t want these awesome species to die would we? The fun lemurs and pretty periwinkles? No. So we need to take a stand and conserve Madagascar!
