The Sloth Lemur’s Song

Alison Richard

‘Full of wonder and forensic intelligence’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding
A moving account of Madagascar told by a researcher who has spent over fifty years investigating the mysteries of this remarkable island.
Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground, to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on; many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates, and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last thousand years or so. Today, Madagascar is a microcosm of global trends. What happens there in the decades ahead can, perhaps, suggest ways to help turn the tide on the environmental crisis now sweeping the world.
The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a far-reaching account of Madagascar’s past and present, led by an expert guide who has immersed herself in research and conservation activities with village communities on the island for nearly fifty years. Alison Richard accompanies the reader on a journey through space and time—from Madagascar’s ancient origins as a landlocked region of Gondwana and its emergence as an island to the modern-day developments that make the survival of its array of plants and animals increasingly uncertain. Weaving together scientific evidence with Richard’s own experiences and exploring the power of stories to shape our understanding of events, this book captures the magic as well as the tensions that swirl around this island nation.
Alison Richard's The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a captivating exploration of Madagascar's history and ecology. It delves into the effects of warming on the island's wildlife, making it a compelling read for those interested in nature and the sciences.
For fans of Andy Field (An Adventure in Statistics), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Chris Packham (Earth), Orlando Figes (The Story of Russia), and George Monbiot (Regenesis).
