In the forests of Madagascar, about nine-tenths of the plant and animal species are unique to the island.

Madagascar is no oceanic island, but a fragment of continent a thousand miles long, wrenched loose from the side of Africa. In this Lost World, plants and animals have become a living museum of evolution. Aepornis, the largest bird which ever lived, became extinct on Madagascar in the last few hundred years. Many more Malagasy species are now

Thank you, Madagascar : the conservation diaries of Alison Jolly by Alison Jolly( Book )

6 editions published between 2015 and 2016 in English and held by 6 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Saving Madagascar is an eyewitness account of First World conservationists' attempts to rescue the extraordinary biodiversity of Madagascar - and the environment of its people. At the book's heart is a conflict between three different views of nature.

Is it instead a legacy of the forest dwellers' ancestors, bequeathed to serve the needs of their living descendants? Or is it an economic resource to pillage for short-term gain, to be preserved only in the measure of return in environmental services for those with political power? Beautifully written, this book is a diary of the people and animals of Madagascar
