2004-12-31: Back from Madagascar
I am back from a Christmas holiday in Madagascar.
I didn't see any catta lemurs this time, but a few other species. The catta lemur has been extinct in the western region around Tulear (Toliara), one of the places I saw them 20 years ago.
And sadly enough, all the rain forest on the 100 km stretch from Moramanga to Brickaville between Antananarivo and Tamatave (Toamasina) has also been wiped out because of the local population's feu de brousse as it is called in French, the slash-and-burn technique used to clear land for agriculture. Before: Thick, impenetrable forest. Today: Open hills with some fields and scattered trees.
The Asian tsunami also hit Madagascar last Sunday. According to the local press, some thousands villagers on the southern part of the east coast lost their homes, but nobody was killed apparently.
