Golden Crowned Sifaka
The golden-crowned sifaka is a medium-sized lemur characterized by mostly white fur, prominent furry ears, and a golden-orange crown. It is one of the smallest sifakas , weighing around 3.5 kg and measuring approximately 90 cm from head to tail. This species has one of the smallest ranges and documented population sizes of any lemur. It is confined to a number of isolated forest fragments which are under pressure from slash-and-burn agriculture and logging. The discovery and subsequent mining of gold in the region has led to further habitat loss, and an influx of miners who hunt the animals for food. No part of this species’ range is protected.
