The study was carried out by a diverse group of 22 researchers from six countries gathered together from museums and zoos, as well as universities and non-governmental organizations.

"Madagascar has become a global leader in saving wildlife and wild lands, and we're enormously proud to support the Malagasy commitment to protect its natural heritage."
