Nature cannot be fooled. Once a species perished from our eyes, it will gone forever and what is that mean? It means the end of the world has just getting any closer to us. Stop all these species from vanishing very rapidly due to deforestation activities at Madagascar. Most of these species are classified as critically endangered:
Aye-Aye: Spectacularly strange, it uses its long middle finger to dig grubs from trees.
Fossa: The catlike carnivore is among the fiercest animals left in Madagascar.
Golden Mantella Frog: Critically endangered and found in only a few spots, it is highly vulnerable to climate change.
Leaf-Tailed Gecko: This threatened lizard has more teeth fitted into its mouth than any other land animal.
Lowland Streaked Tenrec: The spiny worm eater is so far still plentiful.
Madagascar Luna Moth: One of the world's biggest moths-while it lasts.
Madagascar Pink Bug: An odd insect even on an island full of odd insects.
Panther Chameleon: Males can grow to almost 60 cm long.
Ploughshare Tortoise: Prized as a pet, it' one of the rarest tortoises on Earth.
Red-Knob Sea Star: Found throughout the Indian Ocean, it grows to 30 cm.
When we are talking about vanishing or perish of some species, it is not simply as we just saying so. It needs a greater or serious understanding about what really happen if one of the food chain elements gone forever from the Earth. For some reason people just ignoring it by saying it is not our problem and it never affects our daily life but for whom really know about what will terribly happen when extinction take places will have in mind something beyond imagination.
Look what have we done to our mother Earth at present days? Scary fact is, whether we desire it or not, there is a hole not so big compared to our Earth's size occurred at North Pole's sky and scientist predicted it just getting bigger and bigger as the time running in. Industrialization, fossil fuel burning, and most of all deforestation to name a few are the reason why we must have that fear in our mind of what about to appear on our Earth's surfaces in the future. By taking care of tiny animals above we are probably could save the world from being so destructive for our next generation.
