A species of tiny chameleons presumed to be extinct due to deforestation has been found, but it is clinging to survival

.

Up to only 5.5 centimeters long, the critically endangered Chapman's pygmy chameleon is native to the low-elevation rainforest of the Malawi Hills in southern Malawi, a country in southeastern Africa, according to a study published Monday in Oryx—The International Journal of Conservation. First described by herpetologist and author Colin Tilbury in 1992, Chapman's pygmy chameleon is one of the world's rarest chameleons.

I wonder, if anyone has found a correlation between all of these 'thought to be extinct species', their re-emergence and climatechange

Damn that's hard bro 😕cuz we aren't caring enough they dying from our growth

Unfortunately animals become extinct. Look at dinosaurs. Animals go extinct and for the most part not much can be done to reverse the trend. As a friend told me many times..everything dies.

This is a perfect example of why you can’t trust scientists with their personal agendas.
