Where else can you find lemurs , the smallest chameleon in the world, and an aye-aye The biodiversity of such a beautiful place is being cut short each day. It is a shame to let these wonderful creatures go by without appreciating their beauty. http://www.wildmadagascar.org/wildlife/animals.html If places like this, this, and this don't scream out zen, then I don't know what does.

harlan Professional Poster Registered: 07/31/04 Posts: 6660 Loc: Amherst, MA	Yes, it is a beautiful place. I took a course with Prof. Laurie Godfrey, a Primatologist whose primary reseach is in Madagascar, and learned a lot about lemurs. Madagascar has terrible problems (that are driving the lemurs to extinction)...all magnified by the fact that it is an island. Poverty, lack of birth control, erosion, deforestation, lack of protein sources (yes...they EAT lemurs there), and a nasty civil war/political problems. My mother won't let me go on that field trip. _________________________ http://www.traditionalfightingartsforum.com/phpBB3/

Reiki Professional Poster Registered: 05/30/02 Posts: 3400 Loc: MiddleEarth	Quote: I'll pick New Zealand. Strangely enough so do I! But that's because I am biased [and I'm here anyway] and it avoids having to spend wasted training hours at airports and sitting on planes! We have plenty of lovely places like that both on my own property and in the nearby mountains which I can see from all my windows at home ... spoiled eh?! Our dojo borders a native forest of about 500? hectares where people and planes have been lost forever..... in the summer it is lovely to train next to the trees and hear the stream. _________________________ Allow me to acquaint you with my friends Mr Jab and Mr Cross...
