Brookesia Species Male Female (Journal
''Brookesia'' is a genus of chameleons, Endemism, endemic to Madagascar, that range from small to very small in size, and are known collectively as leaf chameleons (though this name also commonly is used for species in the Genus, genera ''Rieppeleon'' and ''Rhampholeon''). ''Brookesia'' includes species considered to be the world's smallest chameleons, and are also among the Smallest organisms#Reptiles, smallest reptiles. Members of the genus ''Brookesia'' are largely brown and most are essentially Terrestrial animal, terrestrial. A significant percentage of the species in the genus were only identified to science within the last three decades, and a number of species that still have not received a scientific name are known to exist. Most inhabit very small ranges in areas that are difficult to access, and due to their small size and secretive nature, they have been relatively poorly studied compared to their larger relatives. ''Brookesia'' are abundant in low-disturbance ripar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brookesia Bekolosy
''Brookesia bekolosy'' also known as the Bekolosy leaf chameleon is a species of chameleon that is endemic to Madagascar. It was described by Raxworthy and Nussbaum in 1995. The International Union for Conservation of Nature classed the species as Endangered, and in 1992 the single specimen of it was recorded. Description and habitat ''Brookesia bekolosy'' has only been collected once, being a single specimen from Bekolosy in the Manongarivo Special Reserve (Manongarivo Reserve) in the region of Diana in 1992. The species is believed to only be found at the Bekolosy Plateau, although further information is unknown. Its habitat is posited as between above mean sea level. Despite lack of specifics as to its extent, the International Union for Conservation of Nature classed ''B. bekolosy'' as an endangered species because it is not likely to cover more than , and it is found in an area where logging is becoming common. If the species turns out to be only found at the Bekolosy Pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

IUCN
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN; officially International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. It is involved in data gathering and analysis, research, field projects, advocacy, and education. IUCN's mission is to "influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable". Over the past decades, IUCN has widened its focus beyond conservation ecology and now incorporates issues related to sustainable development in its projects. IUCN does not itself aim to mobilize the public in support of nature conservation. It tries to influence the actions of governments, business and other stakeholders by providing information and advice and through building partnerships.
