Pinstripe Damba
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.

African Penguin
Reduced prey availability is thought to be the largest factor driving the decline of the African Penguin. However, it remains unclear whether commercial fisheries affect the penguins by competing for food.
