What surprised me the most about Madagascar was learning that over 90% of its wildlife is found nowhere else in the world. I knew it was biodiverse, but I didn’t realize how critical it is globally for conservation efforts.
The best part of this infographic was the connection between biodiversity and the local economy. Showing how environmental challenges and poverty are interconnected made the information more powerful and helped me understand the bigger picture.
One constructive suggestion would be to possibly make the key statistics stand out a little more visually, like using bold fonts or colored boxes, so that they grab the reader’s attention right away.
I did not know prior to this just how much biodiversity Madagascar has. It is also disheartening to see that climate change, in particular, is posing a severe threat to this biodiversity, which has the potential to accelerate the mass extinction already being caused by human activity and contributions to climate change. I liked the possible solutions section, and would like to find out how much work has been achieved in helping mitigate the island’s looming series of crises.
I was surprised to learn that such a significant portion of Madagascar’s wildlife is found nowhere else in the world. The most compelling part of this infographic was its focus on the local population and the explanation that communities must rely directly on their immediate environment for survival, as they have no alternative resources. This human element resonated with me, emphasizing that environmental protection efforts cannot rely solely on regulation; meaningful progress also requires addressing the needs of local populations and the root causes of environmental degradation.
What absolutely surprised me about this infographic is how over 90% percent of Madagascar’s wildlife is found nowhere else in the world. I also did not know Madagascar was the fourth largest island. Another thing I Learned was how over 80% of Madagascar’s population is below the poverty level. Very good infographic.
The infographic is very insightful and informative! I was surprised to learn that 90% of Madagascar’s wildlife is not found anywhere else in the world. Additionally, I previously didn’t realize that it is the 4th largest island in the world.
The layout of the infographic is structured in such a way that it is very easy to follow and I enjoyed the illustrations as they help grasp the topic. Excellent job!
Hi Karicia,
Amazing infographic! I knew Madagascar had a rich biodiversity, but I never knew it was home to almost half of the world’s chameleon species and over 100 lemur species! It makes me want to visit and see them all. The best part about your infographic is when you analyzed the threats to Madagascar’s biodiversity, as you bring much-needed attention to this security issue. Great work!
I really enjoyed learning more about Madagascar and its unique geographic characteristics. It is extremely sad to know that such a rich island suffers from a lack of development, as it has so much potential to grow. It is surprising to know that over 80% of the people live below the poverty line; however, it does not shock me, given all the political challenges the country faces. You did an amazing job with your possible solutions, and I believe it left room for further research to explore more about it.
What surprised me most about this country is that the poverty has an 80.7% of the population lived below the poverty line in 2023. While the unemployment’s estimated at 6.6% in 2022. The best part of this infographic was the possible solutions that can be used to resolve the current issue within Madagascar.
What surprised me was the amount of unique wildlife that is found solely in Madagascar, and how much it contributes to the world’s biodiversity. What I found the best part is the way that this infographic effectively explained the way that Madagascar has one of the highest poverty rates. I loved the visual imagery and how easy the infographic was to follow. Good Job!!
Hello Karicia,
I was shocked to learn that Lemurs were only native to Madagascar and that they were the oldest primates. Similarly, over 90 percent of Madagascars wildlife is endemic. This in turn makes Madagascar very important in order to maintain the biodiversity. This infographic emphasizes the importance of life within the island. This also shows us how urgent we need to be in taking protecting them from wildfires and deforestation. Overall, I loved everything about it.
