Taking action to preserve them
"The consequences of what we don't do are the most serious".
Madagascar is facing increasing forest fragmentation, requiring urgent exploration of the fragments. The Vohimana reserve offers a unique opportunity to collect data to strengthen conservation and involve the local population.
In situ and ex situ projects with complementary objectives in line with modern, global approaches to conservation. Despite the extinction risks facing its natural populations, no similar study has yet been carried out on Parson's chameleon (Calumma parsonii).
This research project is part of a Master's degree in Biology at the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland) and aims to study the relationship between chameleon species and plant characteristics in the Vohimana reserve in Madagascar.
"Kutumia hatua za kuwahifadhi ni ""matokeo ya kile ambacho hatufanyi ni mbaya zaidi.""" Madagascar inakabiliwa na kuongezeka kwa mgawanyiko wa misitu, ikihitaji uchunguzi wa haraka wa vipande hivyo. Hifadhi ya Vohimana inatoa fursa ya kipekee ya kukusanya data ili kuimarisha uhifadhi na kuhusisha idadi ya watu wa eneo hilo. In situ na ex situ miradi na malengo ya ziada katika mstari na kisasa, mbinu za kimataifa kwa ajili ya uhifadhi. Licha ya hatari ya kutoweka kwa idadi yake ya asili, hakuna utafiti kama huo ambao bado umefanywa juu ya kameleoni wa Parson (Calumma parsonii). Mradi huu wa utafiti ni sehemu ya shahada ya uzamili katika Biolojia katika Chuo Kikuu cha Neuchâtel (Switzerland) na inakusudia kujifunza uhusiano kati ya aina ya chameleon na sifa za mimea katika hifadhi ya Vohimana huko Madagascar.
