Bracconaggio e povertà: il Madagascar si mangia i suoi lemuri

Nella notte tra il 31 dicembre e il primo gennaio a Vohémar, nel nord-est del Madagascar, furono intercettati dei bracconieri con 32 lemuri uccisi smoked and who worked with two accomplices, one of them living in the area. The arrest has highlighted the existence of a real network of illegal poaching and trade of meat lemurs, even of the rarest species "Among the 32 bodies found - environmental group says the Madagascan Fanamby - was again crowned lemur (Eulemur coronatus ) who does costs of this gruesome trade. It 'also interested in another smaller species, but do not yet know if this is the new species recently discovered in Phaner Daraina "What is certain is that the meat of lemurs is increasingly in demand in the north east of Grande Île: The restaurants in the region of Vohémar sell a plate of meat indry of between 6,000 and 10,000 Ariary (3 to $ 5). The indry (Indri indri ), the Malagasy call Babakot, is one of the largest species of lemurs and diurne.Ma habits has not only the poachers who often works at night, even people living near forests, often in situations of extreme poverty, have taken a cacciare i lemuri.Secondo il primatologo Henri Jonah Ratsimbazafy, nel 2010 si ha notizia della scomparsa di almeno 3.000 lemuri appartenenti a tutte le specie. La retata dell'ultimo dell'anno è probably the result of growing demand and consumption of meat of lemurs, which led to the traffic of the species that eventually alarmed even the very lax law enforcement. Fanamby president, Serge Rajaobelina, points out that "Despite the actions that the NGOs and other actors for the leading daily maintenance of biodiversity, the traffickers lovers of money are always ways to remove these species. "Traffickers are facilitated by the fact that the law of Madagascar is still not applied with regard to punishment caterers and final consumers, because the réglementation forestière only prohibits the hunting of lemurs and provides only for poachers a sentence ranging from 2 to 5 years in prison. Basically, if a lemur hunted illegally arrive in a restaurant, no one is more colpevole.La hunger on one side and greed threaten to deprive the other of one of Madagascar its sources of income, as the native species of lemurs are among those that attract more Western tourists in his fooreste endangered by illegal logging pregiato e dalla produzione di carbone di legna. Recentemente è stata presentata da Conservation International la terza edizione della "Lemurs Guide of Madagascar" della quale Fanamby è coautrice. Nel 2010 île were counted in the big five families, 15 genera and 101 species of lemurs, but many are at risk of extinction because of deforestation and hunting.
