We’re taking a little time off for Madagascar!

3

It’s time to give back to Mother Earth. As of today, I am embarking on a three-week adventure into the wilderness of Madagascar. I am going to do some volunteer work on environmental conservation and a lemur study program. As you might know, the secluded island nation of Madagascar has some of the most interesting and different flora and fauna of any nation on earth. Unfortunately, due to an increase in human population, deforestation has led to many of the species being either endangered or have gone  completely extinct. One of the animals unique to this land is the lemur. I am glad to be a part of this program.

For the next couple of weeks, I will live in the middle of the jungle with no electricity, no phone service, minimal contact and camp in a tent eating rice and beans everyday. So, I will not have internet service. Meanwhile, the blog will be maintained with timed posts and a contributor has offered to take care of it. The blog might not be the same for a few, but bear with us until we finish enjoying this adventure. Who knows, it could be better than when I ran it!

    Ancestors of the lemurs were long ago driven to extinction by monkeys, which came onto the evolutionary stage around 17 to 23 million years ago. Most lemurs are endangered or threatened and many species have become extinct, mainly due to habitat loss from logging as well as hunting.
