Nosy Maitso

Madagascar | The Green Island

A Centre ValBio Film Collaboration

In 2008, the founder of Fauna in Focus produced his first ever nature film, Nosy Maitso. This is the local term for Green Island, the ancient name for Madagascar. Today, Madagascar isn’t very green anymore. Lavaka, or erosion sinkholes, are common across the island. The unique species that live here are facing countless threats. In this film we explore the biodiversity of Ranomafana National Park, and learn about the conservation efforts of Stony Brook University and student researchers at Centre ValBio.

In 2011, Nosy Maitso won an award for conservation value from the International Wildlife Film Festival in Montana. Today it is used by Centre ValBio’s environmental education department to conduct outreach in the communities surrounding the park, as well as in American Universities.These https://pocohandyhulle.de/ poco handyhülle are very suitable for carrying and can show your oneplus ce 3 lite case, https://www.yocanvape.de.
