Madagascar's lemurs in danger


The world need a change, a real change... now!
What are we waiting for?
That's the question... but there's no aswer

(...)

The lemur is a primate that symbolises Madagascar's unique biodiversity, but now is endangered by the deforestation in the island, and by people who think that this animal is a bussiness thing, or something you can collect as coins, or just eat like a bread, but it's not like this! People must open their eyes to the real thing that is happening nowadays with the environment.

"Lemurs' natural habitat is under threat from the accelerating deforestation. In addition, the endangered animals are being hunted for bushmeat, either to be eaten by drought-afflicted local populations or sold as a roasted delicacy in city restaurants."

What are we doing? why are we acting like this? Is this the way to find a solution? People is always talking about the problems, crisis, society, politic, economy, education, but what about the environment, and I'm specific: what about animals?

Sometimes it seems that world it's like a vicious circle. Everything is burning. It's always like that. They burn, they cut, they destroy, they steal, the kill. And if they don't stop now I'm afraid that some species will become extinct. And all because of our bad behaviour for the environment.

"This year an estimated $100m worth of hardwood has been cut down and sold, mostly to China to be turned into furniture."

What a sadness =(
