  • The Economics of Community Forest Management in Madagascar: Is There a Free Lunch? an Analysis of Transfert De Gestion
    7 The economics of community forest management in Madagascar: is there a free lunch? An analysis of Transfert de Gestion Neal J. Hockley & Mijasoa M. Andriamarovololona 5th June 2007 This publication was produced for review by the United States Agency for International Development. It was prepared by Development Alternatives, Inc. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We gratefully acknowledge the support and assistance of Tom Erdmann, Mark Freudenberger, Vololoniaina Raharinomenjanahary, and Mamy Rakotondrazaka of ERI. They conceived this study and provided so much useful advice and information, and we hope that the report provides a useful analysis of Community-Based Natural Resource Management in general, and Madagascar’s policy of Transfert de Gestion in particular. The study relied upon the assistance willingly provided by the communities of Angalampona, Anjahamana, Antsatrana, Didy, Tsaratanana, and Vohidrazana. We hope that this report can improve the prospects for Transfert de Gestion in Madagascar, helping them to achieve their ambitions for their COBAs. Andrew Cooke helpfully provided information on RESOLVE’s review of Transfert de Gestion and Chris Holmes provided extremely useful information on WCS’s program for supporting COBAs around Makira, while Jonathan Annis helped with informative discussions of water systems. Finally, Tom Erdmann, Mark Freudenberger and Julia Jones, read the first draft of the report in full, and provided insightful comments that greatly improved it. We of course take full responsibility for any remaining faults. Misaotra indrindra The economics of community forest management in Madagascar: is there a free lunch? Neal J. Hockley & Mijasoa M.

  • Surveys, Distribution and Current Status of the Madagascar Harrier Circus Macrosceles in Madagascar
    Bird Conservation International (2009) 19:309–322. ª BirdLife International, 2009 doi:10.1017/S095927090900817X Surveys, distribution and current status of the Madagascar Harrier Circus macrosceles in Madagascar LILY-ARISON RENE DE ROLAND, RUSSELL THORSTROM, GILBERT RAZAFIMANJATO, MARIUS P.H. RAKOTONDRATSIMA, TOLOJANAHARY R.A. ANDRIAMALALA and THE SEING SAM Abstract We conducted a 16-month country-wide survey to determine the status of the threatened Madagascar (Marsh) Harrier Circus macrosceles from 2005 to 2006. We searched for harriers in varying habitat types, focusing on marshes, grasslands and savannas, secondary forests and the edge of primary forests. We surveyed 68% of the districts of Madagascar which contain 71%of the potential harrier habitat throughout the country. We recorded 80 individuals of this sexually dimorphic raptor; 48 males and 32 females of which 71 were observed during the breeding season (June to December) and nine outside the breeding season (January to May). The Madagascar Harrier has a broad distribution of about 1,000 km north to south (Madagascar is about 1,500 km in length) and east to west, but at extremely low density. Fifty-three (69%) harriers were observed in high elevation marshes and grasslands above 1,100 m in the provinces of Mahajanga and Antananarivo during the breeding season. Three major threats to harriers, all human caused, were identified: the transformation of marshes to rice fields (all nests in lower elevation natural marshes), uncontrolled fires destroying nests (n 5 7 nests lost in 2005 to fires), and human persecution by taking young from nests for a food source and killing adults due to their predatory nature.

Le Sud-Est malgache est limité à l’Ouest par les Hautes Terres de Madagascar et à l’Est par l’Océan Indien. Nous avons mené nos enquêtes dans les deux disctricts (ou sous-préfectures) des communes urbaines Farafangana (Atsimo Atsinanana) et Manakara (Vatovavy Fitovinany), et dans celui de la commune rurale de Vohipeno (Vatovavy Fitovinany). Le Vatovavy Fitovinany est communément séparé en 2 sous-régions, le Vatovavy, au Nord, qui est hors de notre zone d'étude et le Fitovinany au Sud, qui comprend 3 districts dont ceux de Manakara et de Vohipeno. Dans la littérature, la région de Manakara peut rassembler le Fitovinany et l'Atsimo Atsinanana (comme c'est le cas dans la monographie de la région de Manakara), ou bien désigner une aire plus restreinte autour de la ville.
