Parson's chameleon, one of the largest and most striking chameleon species, is native to the rainforests of Madagascar. Protected areas such as Andasibe-Mantadia National Park are essential for their survival, as habitat loss threatens their existence.

These reserves engage in reforestation efforts and community-based conservation programs to protect this vibrant reptile. Eco-tourism initiatives further help by generating funds that directly support the preservation of their forest habitat.
