Summary
Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world, is home to more than 12,000 plant and 700 vertebrate species, 80% to 90% of which are found nowhere else on Earth. Sadly, much of this biodiversity is currently threatened with extinction, making it among the hottest biodiversity hotspots in the world. In her talk, primatologist and lemur specialist Dr. Andrea Baden will describe her recent work with Madagascar's Critically Endangered black-and-white ruffed lemur (Genus Varecia) - an important seed disperser and indicator of rainforest health - and how her results are being used to inform conservation practice in an effort to save them
