Canopy chameleon
The Canopy chameleon (''Furcifer willsii''), also known as Will's chameleon, is a species of chameleon that is endemic to Madagascar. The species was described by Albert Günther in 1890.
==Distribution and habitat==
''Furcifer willsii'' can be found in central Madagascar, with a type locality of west Imerina Imady, in the forest region. It can also be found in northern and central northeast of Madagascar. The species can be found at between above sea level and is estimated to be found over an area of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Furcifer willsii'' Encyclopedia of Life )〕 Records show that this species has been found Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve. ''F. willsii'' may have been sighted once in western Madagascar at Ankarafantsika National Park, although this observation has not been verified as of 2007. Reports from Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve are uncertain: they may be of ''F. willsii'', ''F. petteri'', or a similar, undescribed species.〔 The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) believe that the population of the canopy chameleon is declining. However, it is rated as Least Concern as there is not enough evidence that this species is declining fast enough to become endangered or threatened. ''Furcifer willsii'' is threatened by agricultural clearance and logging.〔
''Furcifer willsii'' is an arboreal species often found high in the canopy mostly in humid forests. It seems to be able to adapt to degraded habitats at the edge of native forests. Large numbers of this species were exported from Madagascar between 1989 and 1993 before the trade from Madagascar was banned by the CITES multilateral treaty.〔
