The head of the DGHT Saar-Palatinate regional group, Patrick Schönecker, will be giving a great lecture on Madagascar on Friday, 4 June 2025 in Krefeld. The island in the Indian Ocean is the Mecca for travellers interested in herpetology. Over 90% of the reptiles and amphibians found here are endemic – they don’t exist anywhere else in the world. Patrick has been there several times. In his presentation, he talks about the rainforests in the central highlands and local conservation efforts. But he also travels up north to the small island of Nosy Hara – an extremely special habitat and home to the second smallest chameleon in the world.
