Terrestrial fauna of the Comoros Archipelago
The Comoros Archipelago is a true natural paradise full of unique
species and ecosystems with new species discovered and described
regularly. Unlike many similar tropical oceanic islands, this hotspot
of biological diversity remains virtually unknown to the global
community.
A group of three biologists, we had the privilege of studying the
islands as our private 'playground' of natural history. At the same
time, we saw that many of the unique species living there are
threatened by extinction. We would like to share the extraordinary
discoveries we made there with the people living on the archipelago
and with the global community of tourists, scientists, and enthusiasts
and raise awareness for the need of preserving this fragile ecosystem.
