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 notes an encounter with a Ring-Tailed Mongoose (Galidia elegans), a pair of breeding Madagascar Blue Pigeons (Alectroenas madagascariensis) at Rendrirendry, and a research student who got stung by a scorpion while mapping guava (Psidium cattleianum) and longoza (Aframomum angustifolium) in the reserve. News from Ivoloina includes the capture of a critically endangered cichlid, Paratilapia typus, in Lake Fulgence and the donation of two Brown Mouse Lemurs (Microcebus rufus) to the park.
