Due to the climate crisis, lemurs are moving from trees to the ground.

October 12, 2022

Climate change is forcing the lemurs and monkeys of America and Madagascar to come down from the trees to the ground in search of water, food and shelter. So they adapt to the changed conditions, but the presence of people prevents them from using a new survival strategy. These conclusions were reached by American scientists who watched 150 thousand hours of video recordings of the behavior of 15 species of lemurs and 32 species of monkeys in 68 locations.
