  • Golden-crowned sifaka or Tattersall's sifaka (Propithecus tattersalli) Daraina, North-east MADAGASCAR<br />
This is the smallest member of the Propithecus genus, 870-940mm and weight +-3,5kg's. They are medium-sized vertical clinging and leaping lemurs and were only discovered in 1988. They are diurnal and at night sleep in very tall trees. Group size varies but usually contains at least 2 adult males and females although only one female seems to breed successfully each year. They feed on unripe fruit, seeds, shoots, mature leaves and flowers. Immature leaves are particularly relished.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Dry deciduous, gallery and semi-evergreen forests of a very small area between the Manambato and Loky Rivers in North-east Madagascar.<br />
ENDANGERED due to habitat loss as they do not occur in a protected area - although FANANBY a local Madagascar NGO is working in Daraina to proclaim a protected site of about 20,000 ha. They are also spread between a number of discontinuous forest fragments. Gold mining is common in the forest in which they occur and trees are falling over as the ground is littered with deep holes from the miners. Deforestation is comman as agriculture encroaches and they are hunted in some areas.<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.
