Angels of the Forest
Ninety-eight percent of Madagascar’s mammals exist nowhere else on Earth. Silky sifaka lemurs are one of these unique inhabitants. Becuase of their white fur, and their amazing ability to fly through the forest, silky sifaka lemurs are called "Angels of the Forest." But silkies are one of the world's top twenty-five most endangered primates. If silky sifaka lemurs were to disappear from Madagascar, then they would disappear from our world. International scientists and local Malagasy conservationists are fighting for the survival of this exceptional species and its irreplaceable habitat. At the forefront of these efforts is PhD candidate Erik Patel. From the Series:Angels of the Forest
