Bristol Zoological Society has been working in northern Madagascar since 2006, to safeguard the future of wildlife on this unique island.
Madagascar is one of the world’s most important hotspots for biodiversity, yet it is also one of the world’s poorest countries, with 92% of people living below the poverty line.
Bristol Zoological Society has been working in northern Madagascar since 2006, to safeguard the future of wildlife on this unique island. Most of our work is focused in and around the Sahamalaza-Iles Radama National Park.
Bristol Zoological Society’s Lecturer in Conservation Science, Mark Abrahams recently visited our field programme, working with primatologist Sedera Solofondranohatra for three weeks visiting two major projects; the new research facility in Ankarafa and cocoa plantations in Ambanja. This is the first visit since the beginning of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
