We on this forum may want to contact some of the conservation groups mentioned in these video's for a proactive attempt for chameleon conservation in Madagascar and else where.

The western part of Madagascar particularly could use a quality reforestation program. As well as some other parts of Madagascar. I have heard though from a reliable friend that some conservation groups are reforesting parts of Madagascar as an attempt to expand the ranges and habitat of some species.

That's why it is important to protect core areas of species such as Giant Yellow Parsons. With out protected core area exempt from collecting there won't be any opportunities to recolonize reforested areas.
