The expedition team included @rewild Lost Species Officer Christina Biggs, as well as scientists from Madagascar, international scientists and local guides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heaping praise on surveying the long-lost gems in the forest, he added: \u201cTogether, they surveyed rivers for lost fish, used light traps to attract and survey insects and searched the forest and rocky river beds for the recently rediscovered Dusky Tetraka.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Search for Lost Species\u2019 expedition to Makira was supported by the @ridgesfoundation,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Forests across Madagascar are being destroyed for agriculture, logging and charcoal &#8211; conservationists fear that under-explored areas such as Makira could experience wildlife declines before scientists are able to describe, study, and protect the species that live in them,\u201d DiCaprio concluded.
