Specifically, we thank the Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests (MEEF), the Ad-Hoc Committee for Flora and Fauna (CAFF/CORE), the government of the Vakinankaratra Region, the government of Tsinjoarivo Commune, and the leaders and communities of the various fokon'tany in which our activities occur.
We are also extremely grateful to Stephen Nash of Conservation International for our logo and Matthew Martin for graphics.
