Community Resilience: A study in Ambanja finds long-term NGO partnerships and locally designed support are key to helping communities withstand repeated cyclones and floods. Wildlife: Malagasy flying foxes’ skulls have shrunk by about 6% since the 1980s, raising concern about the effects of large-scale hunting.
