These organisms have been isolated and adapted to the specific environmental conditions of the island for millions of years.

An estimation of 90% of the plants species and 85% of animal species is endemic. ]]> 2021-02-28 16:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/khanh_dn_van001/73ofja3ixx2mkuli/wish/1250304871 khanh_dn_van001 https://padlet.com/khanh_dn_van001/73ofja3ixx2mkuli/wish/1250333879 (table from Duke Lemur Center)]]> 2021-02-28 16:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/khanh_dn_van001/73ofja3ixx2mkuli/wish/1250333879 khanh_dn_van001 https://padlet.com/khanh_dn_van001/73ofja3ixx2mkuli/wish/1250337615 It is estimated that lemurs might have inhabited Madagascar for around 65 million years. There are more than 100 species of lemurs in Madagascar, as their diversity is the result of significant and unique abilities of adaptation. However, most lemur species have been endangered due to loss of habitats. ]]> 2021-02-28 16:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/khanh_dn_van001/73ofja3ixx2mkuli/wish/1250337615 khanh_dn_van001 https://padlet.com/khanh_dn_van001/73ofja3ixx2mkuli/wish/1251259021 80% of the world's chameleon species is found in Madagascar.
