Madagascar

Posted October 27, 2009 * Comments(4) |

In 2 days i will be on my way to Kirindy forest in Madagascar. I will arrive at the city of Antananarivo and then travel 2 days to Morondave region by bus. I will be attending the Tropical Biology Association course for this year, a version of AFEC-X. Once again, for a whole month i will be in those jungles and this time in an area that boasts of about 80% endemic species of plants and 90% endemic species of animals. I believe it will give me a different perspective on ecology and conservation issues and as expected build my capacity even better.

While I am there, I have been warned that the place is so isolated that there will be no access to phone calls or emails. We will only communicate with ourselves and with nature.  So it is only prudent that this time instead of learning the greetings in Chinese as before, we must learn monkey calls and bird greetings. Otherwise goodluck to all. Til then.
