So we know that Madagascar isn’t based on true events, but the thought that the adorable little wide-eyed creatures could be extinct in a few years is heartbreaking.
Animal experts fear that the island of Madagascar may no longer be a home to the lemur because of human invasion and hunting that are claiming the lives of these creatures.
Even though it’s illegal, many land developers and farmers continue to use harmful slash-and-burn methods that yield a significant harvesting of “money crops” like ebony trees and rosewood, but are also the reason for the devastation of the surrounding environment. Scientists are trying to figure out what solutions might be reached in an attempt to save this already endangered species before time runs out.
Hopefully a solution can be reached soon because it would be a shame if King Julian was all we had left.
