Madagascar has one of the most diverse forest ecosystems in the world and used to be a haven for global biodiversity. Unfortunately, the island is currently suffering from critical habitat loss, affecting its unique endemic species. The mangrove estuaries along the coastline have been decimated, causing mudflats to wash into the ocean, ruining prosperous fisheries, and making coastal communities more susceptible to hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods. Additionally, deforestation in its dry deciduous forests poses a grave threat to local biodiversity. Since human arrival, over 90% of Madagascar's forests have been lost, leading to species displacement and considerable water quality degradation.
