Monthly from Madagascar: Madagascar Fauna Group

The monthly newsletter of the Madagascar Fauna Group's in-country projects. The main focus of the update is recent news from Ivoloina Parc Zoologique and Betampona Reserve.

The update from Betampona includes the discovery that Mantella laevigata is more widespread there than previously thought. There is news that a snake, species Ithycyphus perineti, has been visiting the kitchen at Rendrirendry. And the Ivoloina news includes a feature on the use of the Traveller's Palm (Ravenala madagascariensis) for building as well as details about the population size of Indri indri at Betampona.
