Hi Karicia! The consistent theme and colors in this infographic are really great. You have a creative eye! I was surprised to learn that lemurs are only native to Madagascar, I suppose I should’ve known that at my grown age. I think the numeric data points in this infographic could’ve been displayed a different way, something easier to read. Really great job!
I love how you designed your infographic! Madagascar sounds like a beautiful location that if filled with so many beautiful natural resources, although I was unaware of the political instability that Madagascar had. The history of animals such as the chameleon and lemurs is fascinating! The Baobab tree surprised me with how tall it can be, and it is amazing. Although I do wonder how the fruit looks like and what dishes the local communities use it for and how they are able to reach it? With the rich biodiversity especially the rainforest it had not crossed my mind that Madagascar had periods of drought. To have 90% of wildlife is such a privilege for a country, nonetheless a country that is an island. What surprised me the most was how 80% of the population lives in poverty, why hasn’t the country created jobs that benefit the people and ecosystems to work in unison instead of against each other?
What surprised me most about this country is madagascar is home to half of the world’s chameleon species. I Was not aware they are currently under threats due to deforestation and illegal collection for pet trade The best part of this infographic was the Threats to Biodiversity. It provided information that 90% of their wildlife is not found anywhere else in the world, and the dangers of deforstation, habitat loss, and climate change. This should be a wake up call for some action but I just wonder if someone will have a chance to answer with initiatives before it’s too late and they’re extinct. Good job on the presentation
Something that always fascinated me about Madagascar, is how unique its landscape is and how such a large island has such fauna. But the concern does come from the fact its fauna is only on that island. With how much unique resources Madagascar has, it is very concerning how much the environment of the region has been taken and how much damage has been done to the land. I really dont have anything else to say other than it is really visually appealing.
Hii I love that you took an interest in Madagascar as it is definitely a country many people know about but hardly ever know about past its name. Biodiversity is very important especially considering the increasing threat of global warming and climate change, I love how you shed the light on an area many people wouldn’t think about at all when speaking about the climate crisis. I like that you have data although I wish it was a little more detailed in the data specifically being shown. Overall a very well put together infographic that has definitely inspired me to do research of my own on Madagascar.
1) I think I was more surprised when I initially learned about this country is learning about what the country is and what is it most known for. I loved learning about the Lemurs since the movie Madagascar was a childhood favorite for many students.
2) The best part of this infographic was the charts and use of photos and how each portion of the infographic told a story and tied together what really makes the country what it is.
3) I think my only comments was the background color but overall enjoyed reading and learning about Madagascar.
What shocked me was the level of poverty of 80% in Madagascar! How do the people survive? The unemployment rate is 6%, yet comparatively in “The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 4.2% in March 2025” (Trading Economics, 2025).
Obviously, money is scarce, and they have learned to live on a lot less than we do.
What I like best was Madagascar is home to half of the 150 species of chameleons in the world, and that lemurs are native only to Madagascar. I also liked your design layout, including the font you chose, it was very simple, clean, and easy. Nice work.
as a huge animal lover and heart to heart feeler with animals! , I noticed that so much of Madagascar’s species is found nowhere else in the world. The most intriguing aspect of this infographic was its emphasis on the local population and the statement that communities must rely only on their own environment for survival since they have no other options. This led me to be incurably shocked with the environmental preservation measures cannot be primarily based on regulation; genuine development must also address the needs of local residents and the core causes of environmental deterioration.
I was surprised by how much of Madagascar’s biodiversity isn’t found anywhere else on Earth, making its loss even more devastating. The best part of the infographic that really made it standout was its urgent emphasis on the need for immediate conservation. This was a very insightful and very enjoyable to learn!
I was surprised by just how much of Madagascar’s wildlife is found nowhere else in the world, I didn’t realize how unique and critically endangered the island’s biodiversity is. The best part was the possible solutions section, which showed me what can be done to preserve Madagascar, rather than just the negative effects. Good job!
