Entry is limited to a maximum of 8 people<\/b> at a time, accompanied by an expert from the Park\u2019s education department, who will explain their main biological characteristics and their habitat. A variety of food enrichments will be placed so that you can observe the different behaviours of the individual animals. Without disturbing the animals, participants will have the opportunity to come face to face with these magnificent Madagascan prosimians and to observe them from a decidedly privileged point of view, while also contributing to their conservation in the wild.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The project is called \u201cVolohasy\u201d (meaning bamboo in Madagascan) and the area involved is the Maromizaha Forest, located in the central eastern part of Madagascar. The project was created with the aim of combating the loss of forest habitats, which is the leading cause of species extinction in Madagascar, especially for lemurs.<\/span><\/p>

    Over the last 150 years, the scientific community has observed a significant loss of forest ecosystems, caused by slash and burn agriculture (tavy) and illegal logging for the production of coal and construction materials.<\/span><\/p>

    The main aim of the project is to accompany broad reforestation work in the degraded areas of the Maromizaha Forest with a more specialised action of habitat restoration, focusing on plant species in the bamboo family, an essential resource for the eastern lesser bamboo lemur (Hapalemur griseus<\/i>) and the greater bamboo lemur (Prolemur simus<\/i>).<\/span><\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    All those involved in the activities will be selected from the local population living in villages close to the forest. The issue of gender will also be taken into account, fostering women\u2019s access to employment.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
