Truly ecology's playground.</p><p>There is so much to say about this often overlooked island, and we try and say quite a lot of it within the course of an hour. We cover the ancient history of Madagascar, including its dinosaurs, then move onto more recent topics, while trying to illustrate what makes Madagascar so much more than a distinctly forgettable film from our childhood. Then we tackle the sizzling hot topic of Madagascan conservation, evaluating what is being done, and what can be done to save the island paradise. At least until me and Ben get to visit.</p><p><br></p><p>By the way, we haven't done this before but if you have any questions, suggestions, corrections, opinions, contributions, insults or really anything to say whatsoever, email samuelalexanderpickett@gmail.com, and we guarantee your email will be read out next episode!</p>","author_name":"Biologically Speaking"}
