Sobre
O pato-do-madagáscar é um pato mergulhador criticamente ameaçado endémico da ilha de Madagáscar. Considerado possivelmente extinto durante décadas, foi redescoberto em 2006 no lago Manambolomaty. As populações são extremamente pequenas, tornando-o um dos patos mais raros do mundo. Enfrenta graves ameaças de degradação de habitat, introdução de peixes exóticos, e caça. Intensos esforços de conservação estão em curso para evitar a sua extinção.
