  • White-breasted mesite (Mesitornis variegata) Ankarafantsika Nature Reserve, Western deciduous forest. MADAGASCAR<br />
ENDEMIC FAMILY TO MADAGASCAR NUMBERING ONLY 3 SPECIES.<br />
These birds are considered primitive forms of the rail. Although they do fly they are almost exclusively terrestrial. Their nests are rather flimsy structures built low off the ground and accessible without flying. In this species the sexes are simular. They are strictly terrestrial forest species, secretive and active and found in groups of 2 - 4. They feed in the leaf-litter looking for seeds and small insects. At night several individuals may spend the night perched on a low horizontal branch. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Closed, deciduous dry forest on sandy soil and underbrush of which is covered with dead leaves. It is only known from 4 locations: Kirindy forest, n of Morondava, Ankarafantsika Reserve, Ankarana and Alalamera Special Reserves.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: Due to restricted range and degradation of original deciduous dry forest by slash-and-burn and by invasion of forest by dogs and rats - especially near villages.<br />

  • Woman whose family live in the protected forest of Daraina, home of the Golden-crowned sifaka or Tattersall's sifaka (Propithecus tattersalli) in North-east MADAGASCAR. Although FANANBY a local Madagascar NGO is working in Daraina to proclaim this forest as a protected site for the sifakas many people still live there and continue with slash-and-burn agriculture or mining which is encroaching into the little forest that remains and thus putting the long-term conservation of this already threatened species at more risk.
