60% Of Wild Coffee Species Are Facing Extinction

Description

Deforestation and climate change have affected wild animals and led to many species becoming extinct or endangered. And now, according to Mother Nature Network, we can add wild coffee to that growing list. Scientists from the Royal Botanic Garden in London have evaluated more than 20 years of research on 124 wild coffee species and discovered that more than half are under threat of extinction. The head of the coffee research project said, "Among the coffee species threatened with extinction are those that have potential to be used to breed and develop the coffees of the future."

Rare Newborn Blue-Eyed Black Lemur Raises Hopes to Save Species

A rare female newborn blue-eyed black lemur, Ikopa, was moved to the La Palmyre Zoo nursery in Les Mathes, France to receive special care due to her fragility and low weight. Born on April 9, Ikopa continues to receive special care from her keepers, who feel her milk every two hours, as well as bits of fruits and vegetables. While Ikopa musters up enough strength to leave her incubators, her parents and older brother can maintain visual contact with her from their adjacent cage. Blue-eyed black lemurs, like all true lemurs can only be found on the African island nation of Madagascar and their numbers have drastically fallen. These primates are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as "critically endangered" because humans have cut down nearly all the forest areas which these animals call home to clear land for farming. It is believed that as few as 1,000 blue-eyed black lemurs remain in the wild.
