  • A New Species of Critically Endangered Edible Yam Endemic to Northern Madagascar, Dioscorea Irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and Its Conservation
    KEW BULLETIN (2017) 72:15 ISSN: 0075-5974 (print) DOI 10.1007/S12225-017-9677-6 ISSN: 1874-933X (electronic) A new species of critically endangered edible yam endemic to northern Madagascar, Dioscorea irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and its conservation Paul Wilkin1 , James A. Kennerley2, Mamy Tiana Rajaonah3, Geodain Meva Huckël4, Feno Rakotoarison4, Tianjanahary Randriamboavonjy3 & Stuart Cable1 Summary. Morphological character data are used to show that a distinct morphotype of Dioscorea L. from the Irodo valley (East of Sadjoavato) in Antsiranana Province of Madagascar is an undescribed species, differing in its leaf arrangement, pubescence form and male inflorescence structure from all other taxa. It is described as Dioscorea irodensis Wilkin, Rajaonah & Randriamb., illustrated and a distribution map and ecological information provided. It is known from three sites, but is likely to have been eradicated from one of them. The population that has been studied in the field contains a very low number of adult plants. Tubers have been extracted for use as food at a level that appears to be unsustainable. Thus its provisional IUCN conservation status assessment is that it is critically endangered (CR). Its vernacular name in Irodo is Bemandry. Famintinana. Ny toetra sy ny bikan’ny oviala dia azo ampiasaina hanehoana fa miavaka ny oviala iray, izay hita tao anatin’ny lohasahan’Irodo (Atsinanan’i Sadjoavato, faritanin’Antsiranana) ao Avaratr’i Madagasikara, ary tsy mbola voasoritra ny mombamomba azy.

Astiella is an herbaceous genus endemic to Madagascar, originally described with a single species A. delicatula Jovet. Molecular and morphological evidence place it in the tribe Spermacoceae s. lat. of Rubiaceae. During herbarium studies and fieldwork in Madagascar, 11 new Astiella species were identified and these are described here: A. antongilensis Groeninckx sp. nov., A. antsalovansis Groeninckx sp. nov., A. confusa Groeninckx sp. nov., A. deblockiae Groeninckx sp. nov., A. desseinii Groeninckx sp. nov., A. homolleae Groeninckx sp. nov., A. latifolia Groeninckx sp. nov., A. longifimbria Groeninckx sp. nov., A. perrieri Groeninckx sp. nov., A. pulla Groeninckx sp. nov., and A. tsaratanensis Groeninckx sp. nov. The genus Astiella now holds 12 species in total that are all endemic to Madagascar.

  • Repoblikan'ny Madagasikara
    IOTC-2018-WPDCS14-13 REPOBLIKAN’NY MADAGASIKARA FITIAVANA-TANINDRAZANA-FANDROSOANA ____________________________ MINISTERE DES RESSOURCES HALIEUTIQUES ET DE LA PECHE UNITE STATISTIQUE THONIERE D’ANTSIRANANA (USTA) 14TH WORKING PARTY ON DATA COLLECTION AND STATISTICS Victoria-Seychelles, 29th November to 1st December 2018 Gaillord JAONA Yacinthe RAZAFIMANDIMBY ABSTRACT In the framework to improve the fishery statistics in Madagascar, the Ministry of Fisheries, through the Unité Statistique Thonière d’Antsiranana, initiated in 2015 a monitoring system for small-scale and artisanal fisheries of pelagic fish in northern Madagascar with two pilot villages. Since 2016, Monitoring has been expanded in other villages where network of investigators have been established in the various potential fishing areas. At each catch landings, an investigator collects tuna catch data and other catches, and also performs sampling. The date of landing, the time at sea, fishing zone, the weight and total number of individuals landed are recorded; and measurements of tuna and tuna like species are conducted. According to the catch monitoring since the pilot phase in 2015, it can be seen that the tuna season in the northern waters of Madagascar is from June to October. In 2016, catches from small-scale fisheries in these two pilot villages reached 102 tons, including 59 tons of tuna and 43 tons of other catches. The tuna average catch is estimated at 5.3 tons per month. In 2017, total catches in the North of Madagascar reached 3 704 tons including 80 tons of tuna and 4 tons of swordfish from 192 692 landings. Indeed, tuna represents only 2% of total catch for these villages because small-scale and artisanal fishermen still face a challenge, which is the lack of appropriate equipment for catching tuna and tuna like species.

  • Office of the Resident Coordinator Madagascar • Dahalo1 Attack Displaces People in the South Situation Update
    United Nations Nations Unies Office of the Resident Coordinator Madagascar • Dahalo 1 Attack Displaces People in the South Situation Update - 15 June 2012 This update is produced by the Resident Coordinator’s Office in collaboration with humanitarian partners. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIOR ITIES • On 09 June 2012, heavily armed and well organized groups of dahalo (operating mostly in rural areas of Madagascar) carried out violent attacks on Ilambohazo village in the extreme southeast region of Anosy. • The attack left 6 people dead, all members of security forces (5 military personnel and 1 gendarme ). Another 7 agents were wounded and 4 are still missing. • After the attack, the dahalo threatened to attack six villages of Anosy Region in the following days which led to a population’s displacement towards Taolagnaro town. • Various local sources put the number of displaced people from the communes at risk at around 1,800 persons. Local authorities talked about some hundreds of people have temporarily settled in a piece of land in the town centre of Taolagnaro. • On 13 June , local authorities met to discuss the support they would provide to the IDPs and any other vulnerable families. • On 14 June, the Prime Minister, with the Minister of Defence, the Minister Internal Security and the Secretary of State for Gendarmerie and parliamentarians from the areas concerned, left the country’s capital city, Antananarivo, for Taolagnaro, to assess the security and humanitarian situation. • UN joint mission, chaired by the UNRC a.i. and composed of OCHA/RCO, WFP and UNICEF, also joined the Government mission to assess the humanitarian situation and prepare rapid needs assessment if necessary.
