We’re pleased to learn that Madagascar National Parks, in conjunction with the conservation organization Wildlife Madagascar, is constructing a new camp in Marojejy’s sister park, Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve. The new camp is in an area where the critically endangered Red Ruffed Lemur (Varecia rubra) has recently been discovered.

A visit to Anjanaharibe-Sud which includes Camp Indri, Camp Varecia and even summiting Anjanaharibe-Anivo would make for an amazingly adventurous trek through some of the world’s most beautiful and biodiverse rainforests.

Markus Bartels has many amazing photos of the reptiles of Marojejy, but these of Uroplatus finaritra are extra special, as this species is thought to be endemic to Marojejy and was only described and named in 2019.

You can read more about Uroplatus finaritra — its discovery and potential threats — in this mongabay.com article.
