The three #newspecies of chameleon we described today, Calumma ratnasariae (pictured), C. tjiasmantoi, and C. eliminate, all face an uncertain fate: their forests in Madagascar are being burned and chopped down to make way for subsistence agriculture that is barely keeping the populous of Madagascar alive. This wildlife crisis is a humanitarian crisis too, and right now neither crisis is being adequately addressed. Naming species is a necessary first step toward our hope of knowing what there is to save, and coordinating efforts to protect it.

A female Calumma cf. malthe stalking through the understory in Ampotsidy, in the Bealanana District of northern Madagascar. I love the subtle greens of her eyes and occipital lobes (those elephant-ear-like flaps at the back of her head). These are just gorgeous lizards. . www.markscherz.com www.squamatespod.com . . . . . #chamleon #chameleons #chameleonsofig #chameleonsofinstagram #chamaeleonidae #Calumma #Calummamalthe #lizard #lizards #lizardsofinstagram #reptile #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #green #forest #rainforest #tropical #jungle #animal #animals #animalsofinstagram #animalphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #photographersofinstagram #herpetology #herp #herps #Madagascar https://www.instagram.com/p/B2cSphsBfQ4/?igshid=pvjouqbexgic
