Help the Dwarf Chameleon!
Hello,
this is IGL and this post is about helping the endangered dwarf chameleon. Brookesia exarmata is the scientific
name for the dwarf chameleon, the world’s smallest reptile. Like many other chameleon
species, the dwarf chameleon can blend into its background with its adaptation
of camouflage. Its beige-brown skin color hides it well in the background of
leaves. These animals are from West Madagascar ,
taking a habitat close to the ground in vegetation.
Because
its only region is that area in Madagascar ,
they are endangered. The main reason for their declining population is the
removal of their habitat. Their participation in the exotic pet trade also
gives them a threat. Many people don’t know how to care for wild animals, and
most certainly would not know how to care for a dwarf chameleon.
There
are many ways to help. You could:
- Spread the word
- Start a petition
- Prevent the buying and selling of dwarf chameleons in the
exotic pet trade
- Although extremely rare, you may find dwarf chameleons in
your backyard. If so, it is best to contact an animal service and notify
them.
Help the dwarf chameleons!
