#Makira Natural Park, Madagascar

Boasting one of the largest expanses of rainforest in the northeast of Madagascar, Makira Natural Park is home to a wide variety of native flora and fauna. However, the island's iconic lemurs are currently threatened by invasive wildlife and poachers seeking to break free from poverty through the urban bushmeat trade. You, the hunter, have been tasked with regulating animal populations and disposing of traps in the region by local wardens.

Just something I came up with during my vacation in Prague after a daytrip to the city zoo. I'm not sure if this will be reflective of the northeast region, but here is a species list I came up with for a generic Madagascar map:

-African Pygmy Goose (class 1)
-Humblot's Heron (class 1)
-Mallard (returning)
-Red-billed Teal (class 1)
-White-faced Whistling Duck (class 1)
-Madagascar Crested Ibis (class 1)
-Madagascar Ponchard (class 1, limited population)
-Madagascan Flying Fox (class 1)
-Common Tenrec (class 1)
-Ring-tailed Lemur (class 2)
-Red Ruffed Lemur (class 2)
-White Sifaka (class 2)
-Indri (class 2)
-Malagasy Civet (class 2)
-Fossa (class 3)
-Fallow Deer (returning)
-Red River Hog (class 5)
-Nile Crocodile (class 8)
-Zebu (class 9)

I know primates are not in the game currently, but I feel lemurs would be essential for a Madagascar map. Perhaps they could have skittish behaviour and run up trees near their zones to hide from players or fossas, their natural predators. Maybe something akin to how beavers hide underwater or how rabbits hide in burrows. I would love to hear anyone else's ideas for a map like this.

The Madagascar pochard should not be in the game, they are critically endangered and at high risk of extinction, there are currently less than 50 left in the wild

I'm aware, hence why I suggested a lower population like snow leopards in my OP.

But look, the demand for a Madagascar map doesnt seem to be there anyway so I doubt they would ever be in the game

The Island of Mauritius has a higher chance of being added to the game then Madagascar and the only animals that can be hunted there are Javan Rusa, Feral Pigs, Indian Hare and several types of birds like Pheasant (Ring-necked are hunted but Silver Pheasant are apparently present), Guineafowl and Francolin (Grey and Chinese)

There are also a number of other introduced species like Small Indian Mongoose, Feral Dogs, Feral Cats, Madagascar Partridge, Tailless Tenrecs and Long-tailed Macaques and it wouldn't be all that surprising if the island also has feral goats

The only indigenous species that does get hunted every so often is the Mauritian Flying Fox but these are more so government run culls because fruit farmers complain about these bats eating their fruit (even though monkeys exist on the island and are more destructive) with the 2015 cull bringing them from Vulnerable to Endangered on the ICUN Redlist
