Native, giant bamboo grows fast and abundantly in the area around Marojejy, and it makes good charcoal that works well in fuel-efficient cooking stoves.  Check out this video from Duke Lemur Center—SAVA Conservation to see how it benefits both the people and the forest.

One of the bridges on the dirt road between Manantenina and Mandena has collapsed, cutting off vehicle access to Mandena. Once again, travellers heading to Marojejy will need to walk this section of the route. Fortunately, it’s not far, and the walk is tranquil and beautiful.

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.
