The Madagascar Conservationist

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Flying Foxes: Madagascar’s giant fruit bats may be shrinking, a study of 121 museum specimens suggests. Researchers suspect hunting is removing the largest animals, though the cause is not confirmed. Lemur Forests: On World Lemur Day, conservationists warned that lemurs help forests regenerate by spreading seeds. A project in eastern Madagascar aims to restore 150 hectares of native forest and reconnect two protected areas. Disease Risk: FAO and IGAD say El Niño-linked rain and flooding could raise Rift Valley fever risk in northern Madagascar, and urge stronger surveillance and preparedness. Coral Research: A new high-speed vessel for the University of Toliara will support reef surveys and a three-year effort to raise coral larvae and help damaged reefs recover.
