I passed on to Greg Calvert, a biologist and birdwatcher from 
Townsville, the question about why there are so few readily accessible 
birds in Madagascar. He replied,  " I have also been birding in 
Madagascar. The reason that Madagascar has so few birds is that 90% of 
their forests have been burnt and chopped down and the remaining 10% is 
being hacked down as we speak."

Happy birding,
