pauvre Madagascar

It's so saddening what's happening to my beloved Madagascar. This article in the economist sums up what's been happening.
Mankind is the most destructive species on this planet, greedy and selfish. There are many examples of exceptions, people who managed to get rid of their ego's. But that they are, exceptions.
Maybe the best way to cope is to not care. But unfortunately, i'm not a robot.
And some of the best days in my life were when i had the privilage to walk through primary tropical rainforest. A religious feeling comes over me when i walk through that cathedral of life. Huge, majestical trees, centuries old, each being an ecosystem in itself. A sort of homecoming, a feeling of belonging. Everything is so vibrant and battling for light. Such an abundancy of life forms. Amazement awaits at every centimeter. It's magical.

And in Madagascar, being an island where evolution took its own course, almost every life form is unique, endemic to Madagascar. Something so valuable, you can't express in money. Cause when it's gone, it's gone forever.
Species come and go, and so they should. But at this rate...i would feel so lonely when all were left with are just the few animals that are usefull to us: cow, chicken, goldfish and poodle. (by the way, did you know that goldfish naturally live in groups and hide between weeds and rocks? The cruellest thing to do to them is to put them all alone and totally exposed in a bowl!).

And now because of lawlessness, organised crime and foreign traders are looting the National parks, the few bits of primary forests that is left.

Einstein once said something like: "when the bees have gone, mankind has five years left". Well the bees are going!
