Could Madagascar's biodiversity survive without international assistance?

Madagascar endlessly experiences the result of an environment in pain; it aches too often, declining its chance of survival. Despite the unfortunate political instability that has been occurring, we must not forget that we are also in the midst of a grave environmental crisis.

Since the start of the political turmoil, several international aids and funding have been temporarily suspended. Worse! Madagascar is also the victim of a halt in environmental funding. Meanwhile, illegal logging and trading of precious wood from protected forests have been the headlines of local and international newspapers, deteriorating the already fragile state of the islandÃ¢Â€Â™s ecosystem. More than 80% of MadagascarÃ¢Â€Â™s forests have vanished since the 1950s.

We take pride in proclaiming how unique our biodiversity is, but words do not suffice. Protecting our wildlife seems to be the least of our worries. DreamworkÃ¢Â€Â™s portrayal of Madagascar illustrates an unharmed tropical fairyland where all lemurs thrive in their glorious forests. On our screen, we watch with excitement never-ending canopies of skyscraping trees hosting exceptional fauna. Dreamwork painted a picture of what it used to be, and what is should be, not what it is today.

Over the past 25 years international agencies such as USAID (US Agency for International development) has made invaluable impacts on the islandÃ¢Â€Â™s environment. Equipped with financial resources that local agencies lack of, they provided irreplaceable protection for MadagascarÃ¢Â€Â™s endemic fauna and flora. Local agencies may be eager to help and passionate about their cause, unfortunately funding can be an unwanted obstacle.

Concerned, Dr. Russ Mittermeier, president of Conservation International declared that the [] international community Ã¢Â€Âœhas the moral and scientific obligation to save what remains [] in Madagascar, that now is not the time to withdrawÃ¢Â€Â. Without doubt a national effort coupled with international assistance, would be an ideal solution. Until then all actions to heal our ecosystem is vital. Malagasy people and the World must not give up in their effort towards conservation as well as regeneration of MadagascarÃ¢Â€Â™s irreplaceable treasure.

international agencies

Medical tourism facilitators together with their partners have located and carefully pre-screened potential surrogate mothers. Surrogate mothers are examined by clinical geneticist and fully screened for sexually transmitted diseases and common genetic disorders. Furthermore, each candidate is assessed by a professional psychiatrist and a psychologist. There is currently no wait for surrogate mothers, if you use overseas IVF clinics. The clinic you choose to work with should assist you through the entire process starting from surrogate mother selection to help with legal paperwork.

I have three Harleys in my garage. The oldest is a 59 Panhead that has been extremely raked and is a sleek eye catcher. My usual ride is my 75 Shovelhead. She is a total pleasure to ride. My third and newest bike is a 2006 Street Bob. This bike is fast. All of them are the loves of my life, of course.
