马达加斯加狐猴守护者与森林的共生故事
On the eastern slopes of Madagascar, a ring-tailed lemur leaps between the branches of a baobab tree. This island nation is the only home of lemurs, primates found nowhere else on Earth. Their survival depends on the forests that are rapidly disappearing.
Slash-and-burn agriculture and illegal logging have reduced Madagascar's forest cover by over 80 percent in the past five decades. After the trees vanish, the soil turns barren and the lemurs lose their food and shelter. Entire groups of sifaka lemurs have been spotted stranded on isolated patches of land.
