AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoLemur Crisis: Madagascar’s lemurs evolved in isolation, but their future is precarious: a 2020 IUCN assessment found 98% of species threatened with extinction. Many also help keep forests healthy by dispersing seeds. Coral Reef Research: The University of Toliara’s marine science institute has commissioned a new high-speed research boat to survey reefs and train students. It will support a three-year effort to grow coral larvae and help damaged reefs recover—important for biodiversity and local fishers who rely on reef waters. Climate Pressure on Bats: A study projects suitable climate zones for African cave-dwelling bats could shrink by 36–64% by 2070, with Madagascar among the remaining areas. But suitable caves and future climates rarely overlap, highlighting the need to protect connected refuges. Listening to Forests: Ecologist Zuzana Burivalova’s audio-recording research, including work in Madagascar, uses wildlife sounds to assess tropical forest health.
