Located in the northeastern part of the island, Makira Natural Park boasts unique and beautiful wildlife like lemurs that are found only on the huge island. Other unusual species include the Fossa, a short-legged puma-like animal but smaller and in fact, related to the mongoose; and spiny little tenrecs that look like a mixture of hedgehog, shrew, and opossum.

The objective of the meeting, which was financed by the Global Partnership for Sharks and Rays, was to identify priority actions in relation with sharks and rays and the issues on their conservation and to discuss how different actors in Madagascar can better coordinate their efforts.Participants discussed a range of issues concerning the protection of these species such as the low awareness of laws relating to the exploitation of sharks and rays, the threats to sharks and rays from small-scale and industrial fishing and the urgent need to collect additional data on shark and ray ecology and catches. The meeting was also marked by the creation of a national working group for the conservation and sustainable management of sharks and rays. This working group, which includes the participants in the working session as well as representatives of fishers groups, will work over the next few months to develop a national roadmap for shark and ray conservation and sustainable management. We would like to thank the Global Partnership for Sharks and Rays for their support of shark and ray conservation activities in Madagascar and the Western Indian Ocean, and stay tuned for updates from the next meeting of the national working group. rwilfried Fri, 06 Oct 2017 08:44:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:10578 https://programs.wcs.org/madagascar/About-Us/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/10476/GEF-Satoyama-quarterly-newsletter-April-to-June-2017.aspx#Comments 0 https://programs.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=6093&ModuleID=11923&ArticleID=10476 https://programs.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=10476&PortalID=120&TabID=6093 GEF-Satoyama quarterly newsletter, April to June, 2017 https://programs.wcs.org/madagascar/About-Us/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/10476/GEF-Satoyama-quarterly-newsletter-April-to-June-2017.aspx The fourth quarterly newsletter of the GEF-Satoyama project has been released.

Il s’agit de l’octroi d’un droit d’accès prioritaires aux pêcheurs locaux pour l’exploitation de ressources halieutiques adjacentes à leur village et de la surveillance communautaire des aires concernées au niveau de quatre sites pilotes, à savoir les trois AMP nouvellement créées d’Ankarea et d’Ankivonjy, dans la région de DIANA et de Soriake à Atsimo-Andrefana, ainsi que la Baie d’Antongil dans la région d’Analanjirofo. « Dans ces trois premiers sites pilotes, la pêche industrielle est interdite. Les efforts de pêche sont également gelés. Les communautés villageoises qui sont responsabilisées à effectuer la surveillance de ces aires marines protégées, signalent rapidement le Centre de Surveillance de Pêche en cas de détection des infractions », a expliqué Rasamoël Jean Jacques, le Secrétaire général du ministère de la Pêche lors d’une conférence de presse hier à Ampandrianomby. trasolomanana Thu, 08 Oct 2015 01:49:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:8268 https://programs.wcs.org/madagascar/About-Us/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/8267/Peche-Les-aires-protegees-marines-vulnerables.aspx#Comments 0 https://programs.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=6093&ModuleID=11923&ArticleID=8267 https://programs.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=8267&PortalID=120&TabID=6093 Pêche – Les aires protégées marines vulnérables https://programs.wcs.org/madagascar/About-Us/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/8267/Peche-Les-aires-protegees-marines-vulnerables.aspx La biodiversité des ressources maritimes menacées par les pratiques de pêche non durables. L’exploitation intensive dans les aires protégées diminue les ressources halieutiques. Ces exploitations se font de manière industrielle, artisanale ou sportive. « Les prises des pêcheurs sont à l’origine de la diminution des ressources dans les aires protégées marines », a déploré hier, à Ampan­drianomby, Charles Andria­naivojaona, expert en aménagement des pêches auprès de l’ONG Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Compte-tenu des impacts de ces exploitations, des mesures de gestion des pêches ont été instaurées par le ministère des Ressources halieutiques et de la pêche, en collaboration avec le WCS. Il s’agit d’octroyer un droit d’accès prioritaire aux pêcheurs locaux, pour l’exploitation des ressources halieutiques et la surveillance communautaire des aires concernées. Ces dispositions sont appliquées sur quatre sites pilotes, à savoir Ankarea, Ankivonjy dans la région de Diana, Soariake dans la région Sud-ouest, la baie d’Antongil dans la région d’Analanjirofo, « Ce projet consiste à assurer l’articulation des ressources naturelles et le développement économique ainsi que de protéger, conserver et utiliser durablement le capital naturel et les écosystèmes », affirme Jean Jacques Rasamoel, secrétaire général du ministère des Ressources halieutiques et de la pêche. trasolomanana Thu, 08 Oct 2015 01:34:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:8267
