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.

In addition to the usual micro-project updates, this issue includes a report of a rare sighting of a White-Breasted Mesite (Mesitornis variegata) at Betampona Reserve. There is news of the Foulpointe to Tamatave cycle race organised by USAID and Peach Corps. At Ivoloina there have been 16 lemur births in just six weeks. And further finds of the rare fish Paratilapia typus have been made in Lake Fulgence.
