Colours of Survival
This image captures the vibrant beauty of the Panther Chameleon in its natural habitat. Native to Madagascar, these incredible creatures face the threat of rapid habitat loss due to deforestation and slash-and-burn agriculture. Illegal hunting and the pet trade further endanger their survival. Protecting their habitats is crucial for maintaining the biodiversity of Madagascar. Let these wild wonders thrive in the wild, and cherish the natural beauty that the earth offers. Image taken in Madagascar.
