Nosy Hara is a small island off the coast of Madagascar. It is home to a unique species of lemur, the Nosy Hara Lemur (Lemur catta). This lemur is found nowhere else in the world and is endangered.
The Nosy Hara Lemur lives in the rainforest and eats mainly fruits, leaves, and flowers. It is active during the day and sleeps in trees at night. The lemur has a long tail that it uses for balance when jumping from tree to tree.
The Nosy Hara Lemur is threatened by habitat loss and hunting. The rainforest on Nosy Hara is being cleared for agriculture, and the lemurs are hunted for food. There are only an estimated 200-300 Nosy Hara Lemurs left in the wild.
Conservation efforts are underway to protect the Nosy Hara Lemur. The island has been declared a nature reserve, and patrols are conducted to stop hunting. Reforestation projects are also being carried out to restore the rainforest habitat.
