All the latest news from Madagasikara Voakajy, the Malagasy biodiversity organisation dedicated to the conservation of endemic vertebrates and their habitats in Madagascar.

Radosoa Andrianaivoarivelo, a Madagasikara Voakajy member of staff who is doing his PhD at the University of Antananarivo, was awarded a prize for his report about his internship at Bangor University.

The Belalanda Chameleon is one of Madagascar's rarest animals. It is only known from a tiny area to the west of Toliara where it survives in degraded habitats. We are working with WWF to prevent the extinction of this species and had a planning meeting last week in Toliara about launching an environmental education project in the two sites where this species is known to occur.

The magnificent baobab trees of Madagascar make a number of important contributions to livelihoods and we aim to make this sustainable and equitable whilst also promoting the recovery of degraded baobab forests.
