Target: Andry Rajoelina, President of Madagascar
Goal: Advocate for the protection of lemurs, which are endemic to Madagascar and face threats from habitat loss and hunting.
Lemurs are a unique group of primates that are endemic to Madagascar. However, their populations are under threat from habitat loss and hunting, which has resulted in many species being classified as endangered or critically endangered. This not only threatens the biodiversity of Madagascar but also the livelihoods of local communities that depend on the forests for their survival.
It is imperative that immediate action is taken to protect the remaining populations of lemurs in Madagascar. This requires the strengthening of laws and regulations to prevent habitat loss and hunting, the establishment of protected areas, and education and awareness-raising initiatives to promote sustainable wildlife use and alternative livelihoods.
By protecting lemurs and their habitats, we can ensure the long-term survival of these unique and important primates and support the sustainable development of Madagascar. We strongly urge Andry Rajoelina, President of Madagascar, to take immediate action and support this critical initiative.
Through effective protection measures, education, and alternative livelihoods, we can protect lemurs and their habitats in Madagascar. Call on President Rajoelina to take action and support these efforts.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Rajoelina,
I am writing to urge you to protect the remaining populations of lemurs in Madagascar, which are under threat from habitat loss and hunting. Lemurs are a unique group of primates that are endemic to Madagascar, but many species are now classified as endangered or critically endangered. This not only threatens the biodiversity of Madagascar but also the livelihoods of local communities that depend on the forests for their survival.
To address this issue, we need to strengthen laws and regulations to prevent habitat loss and hunting, establish protected areas, and promote sustainable wildlife use and alternative livelihoods through education and awareness-raising initiatives.
We urge you to take immediate action and support efforts to protect lemurs and their habitats in Madagascar. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
Sincerely,
