Conservation

"It is also threatened by both hunting and egg-collecting." Egg-collecting? What does it mean? Collecting of eggs by indigenous people for food or collecting of eggs by oologists? I'm not sure that second possibility is right. Hunu (talk) 19:00, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page update

Recently I have been working on Madagascar articles, especially rivers and bridges, and getting the talk pages updated by quality and importance. I added {{WikiProject Africa|class=FA|importance=low|Madagascar=yes|Madagascar-importance=mid}} to this article talk page, but I am curious why FA talk pages are not examined for needed WikiProject entries. Madagascar is very much needed for this article.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 20:19, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
