MADAGASCAR-ENVIRONMENT-BIODIVERSITY

Stephane Decampe, co-owner of the hotel Jungle Nofy, patrols the Canal by boat with forest guides to surprise potential boats carrying precious woods from the Vohibola forest near the village of Manambato, Madagascar, on March 22, 2019. This action helps to frighten and warn poachers of precious woods. The lemurs of the Vohibola forest are in danger of extinction since the Vohibola Forest, one of the last primary forests in eastern Madagascar, has been illegally felled for charcoal production and the sale of rare wood for several years. Some kill the harmless creatures for food, others sell them as pets -- and to get to their prey, they chop down precious tropical trees..RIJASOLO / AFP
