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.

A Chameleon Specialist Group has just been established by the IUCN Species Survival Commission. It will bring together experts on all African, middle-eastern, Asian and European chameleon species and aims to promote conservation efforts and sustainable use.

We are working with communities and government in seven rain forest sites to create new protected areas.

These remarkable trees are an enduring image of Madagascar but there is growing evidence that populations are not enduring in the face of rising exploitation of bark products.
