All the latest news from Madagasikara Voakajy, the Malagasy biodiversity organisation dedicated to the conservation of endemic vertebrates and their habitats in Madagascar.
We provided two new conservation signs for the Mangabe community-based organisation.
We have just returned from the Mangabe forest where we spent three days in the local primary school, working with teachers, to increase the childrens' awareness about the local environment.
We recently (24-26 May) participated in the celebrations organised by the Ministry of Environment and Forests in Antananarivo for the International Year of Biodiversity.
