A documentary about the
tough times of Madagascar
Shaun Gregory
Postmedia Network
To create an exclusive docu-
mentary about the hardships of
southern Madagascar, a Goder-
ich researcher and local artist
are joining forces.
Researcher Amber Walker -
Bolton and aspiring filmmaker
Devin Sturgeon invited the
public to the Huron County
Museum March 2' to educate
them on their upcoming
enterprise.
In the front entrance of the
museum, framed photographs
surround the room; these
pieces of art are being sold to
help pay for the film as well as
helping to accommodate Stur-
geon's trip to the foreign land.
The night ended with a lec-
ture by Walker -Bolton; she
informed the crowd of the pro-
ject and its two themed focus -
the near extinction of the ring-
tailed lemur as well as its main
concentration on the people of
Madagascar
Several studies have proved
that the ring-tailed lemur is on
the brink of extinction, there are
currently roughly 2,500 left and
according to the National Geo-
graphic the herbivores are an
endangered species.
Walker -Bolton said she
wants to know what is trigger-
ing these low numbers, "do
they look at them as a food
source or something to be
hunted?"
The excursion to the Berenty
Reserve is expected to take a
couple of flights as well as a
long ride through the jungle,
this is the destination where
Walker -Bolton has spent the
last six years doing research.
She will arrive in April with
Sturgeon set to follow a month
later to film the mating behav-
iour
ehaviour of the lemur. She said it's a
"brief moment, since they only
mate once a yeas '
Currently the area is suffering
from a massive drought that has
affected roughly 850,000
people.
'We want to just bring aware-
ness to the people of Canada
about what's going on in Mada-
gascar," stated Walker -Bolton
about the intentions of the trip.
"People will see the film and
want to support our projects, it
will also be an eye-opener on
what it's like to run these types
of conservation projects."
If you would like to support
the . project there is a
GoFundMe page called the
Madagascar Conservation
Documentary, they have raised
about $800 of the $6,000 goal
Walker -Bolton also men-
tioned that there is an account
at the Goderich Scotia Bank,
specifically launched for this
endeavour
