NCEP is a collaborative project of the American Museum of Natural History’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation (CBC) and a number of institutions and individuals around the world. This journal is designed to introduce NCEP teaching and learning resources (or “modules”) to a broad audience. NCEP modules are designed for undergraduate and professional level education. These modules—and many more on a variety of conservation topics—are available for free download at our website, ncep.amnh.org. For this issue, we present a selected group of resources that showcase conservation challenges and solutions in Madagascar, a widely recognized global hotspot for biodiversity. In 2003, the CBC and its partners initiated NCEP activities in Madagascar to strengthen long–term capacity for biodiversity conservation through the expansion and enhancement of training opportunities for universities and conservation professionals. Known as the Réseau des Educateurs et Professionnels de la Conservation à Madagascar (REPC–MD), we looked systemically at conservation capacity needs, convened key players to invest strategic long–term thought, and worked to implement solutions at the individual, organizational, and national levels. From the first workshop of 36 interested people, REPC–MD now connects over 1,300 members representing 215 conservation institutions. We are especially pleased to present here some of our materials in French, and hope that this will facilitate their use in the region and in other francophone countries. The topics range from local management of natural resources to endangered species, and can be used in a variety of academic or training courses as well as for independent learning. We welcome feedback on our resources and we especially welcome those wishing to become further involved in the Network! We are grateful to many people across the CBC and NCEP network for their contributions to the development of Lessons in Conservation. Please see the back cover for a full acknowledgement of the foundations and individuals that have supported this project. Enjoy this issue of Lessons in Conservation and please visit our site to start using NCEP resources in your classroom! Questions and feedback are welcome at [email protected]. Georgina Cullman Domoina Rakotobe Co–Editor Co–Editor NOTE DES ÉDITEURS Cher lecteur, Bienvenue à Lessons in Conservation, le journal officiel du Réseau des Educateurs et Professionnels de la conservation (REPC ou NCEP en anglais). REPC est un projet collaboratif Centre pour la Biodiversité et Conservation (CBC)de l’American Museum of Natural History et un certain nombre d’institutions et d’individus à travers le monde. Ce journal est conçu pour présenter des ressources d’enseignement et d’apprentissage (ou « modulesREPC ») à un large public. Les modules REPC sont conçus pour l’enseignement du premier cycle et au niveau professionnel. Les modules ci–après–et beaucoup d’autres sur une variété de sujets sur la conservation – sont disponibles en téléchargement gratuit sur notre site Web, ncep.amnh.org. Pour ce numéro, nous présentons un choix de ressources qui mettent en valeur des problèmes et des solutions de la conservation à Madagascar, un hotspot mondial largement reconnu pour la biodiversité. En 2003, CBC et ses partenaires ont lancé les activités de REPC à Madagascar pour renforcer à long terme les capacités pour la conservation de la biodiversité par l’expansion et l’amélioration des possibilités de formation pour les universités et les professionnels de la conservation. A Madagascar, REPC a examiné de façon systémique les besoins en capacité dans la conservation, mobilisé les acteurs clés à investir dans des réflexions stratégiques à long terme et à mettre en œuvre des solutions aux niveaux individuel, organisationnel et national. Dès le premier atelier regroupant 36 personnes intéressées, REPC–MD relie désormais plus de 1300 membres représentant 215 institutions de conservation. Nous sommes particulièrement heureux de présenter ici certains de nos modules en français, et nous espérons que cela facilitera leur utilisation dans la région et dans d’autres pays francophones. Les sujets vont de la gestion communautaire des ressources naturelles aux espèces menacées, et peuvent être utilisés dans différents cours universitaires ou de formation ainsi que pour un apprentissage indépendant. Nous apprécions les commentaires sur nos ressources et nous invitons ceux qui le souhaitent à être plus impliqués dans le réseau! Nous sommes reconnaissants aux nombreuses personnes à travers le CBC et le REPC pour leurs contributions au développement de Lessons in Conservation. Veuillez voir la dernière page pour une pleine reconnaissance des institutions et des individus qui ont soutenu ce projet. Profitez de cette édition de Lessons in Conservation et s’il vous plaît visitez notre site pour commencer à utiliser les ressources du REPC dans votre salle de classe!

The hospitalization capacity was reached in central hospitals which led to care decentralization for asymptomatic and pauci- symptomatic patients whilst hospitalization is offered in priority for carry forward moderate, severe and critical patients. $2.35 UNICEF supports moderate, severe and critical patients’ care by supplying oxygen (O2) to central hospitals, helping saving lives of most severe patients. Thus far, 240,000 families have received a cash transfer of 100,000 Ariary (26 USD) to meet their basic needs. In collaboration with the Government and through the Cash Working Group, UNICEF coordinates the second wave of emergency social assistance in the most affected urban and peri- urban areas. However, UNICEF’s appeal for emergency social protection support, remains unfunded. Around 300,000 children received self-study booklets while distribution to another 300,000 children is being organized. UNICEF is monitoring the promoted health measures to be put in place prior the tentative examination dates for grade, 7, 3 and Terminal.

This bat differs from the other members of this genus known from the island, Africa, and Asia based on its notably diminutive size, pelage coloration, and tragus shape and length. Scotophilus sp. nov. is known from seven different specimens taken at three different sites in the central western portion of the island, in zones with anthropogenic savanna dominated by palms (Bismarckia nobilis) and dry deciduous forest. The holotype was collected in the palm leaf roof of a thatched dwelling, which is the first evidence of the synanthropic occurrence of a member of this genus on Madagascar. Four species of Scotophilus are now known to occur on Madagascar of which three are endemic.
