One of the rarest of Lemurs is the Silky Sifaka found in Marojejy National Park and a few surrounding Reserves. This strikingly beautiful Sifaka is now under care through various Conservation programs, but was in not for Dr. Erik Patel (http://www.lemurreserve.org/about-lcf/leadership/dr-erik-p-patel-2/) this would not be the case. At the moment you can view an absorbing BBC "Natural World" video ("Madagascar Lemurs and Spies") on the Silky and Erik's work to save them - narrated by David Attenborough, this is a must watch .... see it while you can at : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x56r48u.
