Conservation Action

The MFG's Conservation Action projects encompass immediate and long-term activities that aim, for example, to mitigate habitat degradation, improve habitat quality and enhance the survival of endangered animal and plant species. An immediate action was needed following the 2009 coup which led to
political instability, reduced law enforcement and a dramatic increase in illegal logging and poaching activities. The MFG responded to this threat by
increasing patrolling activities within Betampona Natural Reserve, documenting and reporting all observed infractions to the authorities. 

Long-term activities include forest restoration projects at Parc Ivoloina and Betampona's Zone of Protection. We collaborate with the World Zoo and Aquarium Associations' strategic plans to develop global breeding programs for endangered Malagasy lemur and other species and work with botanical gardens in the propagation of endangered plant species.
Zoo-born black and white ruffed lemurs were released into Betampona Natural Reserve to enhance the sustainability of the resident population. MORE.
The MFG's amphibian conservation program  includes monitoring wild frog populations for the highly infectious chytrid fungus.
In collaboration with the Missouri Botanical Garden, the MFG has worked to develop propagation protocols for some of Madagascar's endangered eastern tree species.
