1111. Madagascar, Africa

The 2005 DreamWorks smash-hit animated film really put this place on the map. Unfortunately, the odds of you spotting its endemic, adorable lemurs on this large isle off the east coast of Africa aren’t good. This is the only place you have a chance of seeing them in the wild too.

Farming for charcoal and firewood and recurring fires have really whittled down the forest here. At last count, only 10 percent of the original expansive forest remains untouched. This further threatens the lemurs that are already at risk because of poaching.

  2. I agree with you! I like the look too! The colors and theme were already selected though when I was hired on to write. I know we use WordPress, if that is any help.
