The Pinstripe Damba is an endemic and Critically Endangered fish of northwestern Madagascar. Since 2008, this fish is known only from one lake: Tseny. The challenge is to increase the population size to a level that will allow both conservation and harvesting for food. As a step forward, this project works to raise local awareness on fishery regulations.

We have been working in close partnership with Congolese partners at Lilungu since 2005. Strengthening bonobo monitoring and protection programs and supporting the local community in gaining official legal protection for their forest will be a milestone for bonobo conservation. Anchoring protection at this strategically located site will link a critical corridor between key bonobo sites, helping to ensure long-term survival of bonobos.

The indri is the largest of the living lemurs, all endemic to Madagascar. It is considered amongst the 25 most endangered primates in the world, and as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. This community-based project run by The Aspinall Foundation helps protect one of the largest remaining lowland indri populations, living in the Andriantantely rainforest of eastern Madagascar.

We are looking for the conservation strategy appropriate to the greater big-footed mouse in the dry forest of Ankarafantsika National Park.This species is listed as endangered species because it's only found in Ankarafantsika National Park Madagascar and it is victim of pressures (human acivities, predator). So, it's important and urgent to adopt and apply a conservation strategy.
