A Biological Assessment of the Reserve Naturelle Integrale of D'Ankarafantsika, Madagascar

Over the past half century, slash-and-burn rice farming on Madagascar has slowly expanded from the coastal lowlands into the dense tropical forests of the island's central plateau--many of which are officially protected reserves. This rapid assessment focuses on the R 9serve Naturelle Int 9grale of d'Ankarafantsika, in the northern portion of the island. The area is filled with diverse endemic species, but increasingly threatened by local agricultural methods, and this assessment is critical to the process of evaluating risks and developing sound conversation policies for the future.Alonso, Leeanne E. is the author of 'A Biological Assessment of the Reserve Naturelle Integrale of D'Ankarafantsika, Madagascar ' with ISBN 9781881173625 and ISBN 1881173623.
