Madagascar tape #1 3:50 opening of conference in French. good enough you get the idea...environment...Madagascar...conservation, etc. Joseph Andriamampianina, director general, national office of environment in Madagascar ENVIRONMENT ALWAYS BEEN YOUR PASSION? 1:04:15 I am a forester. and excuse me, it is difficult for me to speak English, but I try to explain you how I have been here in national office of environment. I am a forester. and since 20 years ago I have been interested about environment, especially Malagasy environment. you know of the great problems here in Madagascar, especially deforestation and soil erosion. in our national environment action plan you put the priority about the struggle in deforestation, in erosion of soil. YOU BEEN FORESTER. SO WHEN A BOY, YOUNG MAN, DID LIVE IN CITY OR COUNTRY? in country. WAS THERE FOREST/ yes, forest. WAS THERE NOTICABLY MORE FOREST WHEN YOU BOY. no no. yes... //it is true. WHEN YOU BOY HOW MUCH FOREST WAS THERE? 20 years 107:00 ago there were here about 15 millions hectares of forest. now there are only 12 million hectares of forest.

MADAGASCAR SPECIAL PLACE? it has special place about biodiversity in the world. Alison Jolly I guess Alison jolly, teach at Princeton university, study mostly in berenty in south of Madagascar. follow a few troops of ring tail lemurs as well as brown and white sifaka. WHAT LEMURS ARE? 1:12:44 the first thing to say is that lemurs are not our ancestors, they're our cousins. of course they've evolved just as long as we have. but we both started from something that looked very much like a modern lemur-the only thing is it lived in Wyoming and in Paris forty to fifty million years ago. that ancestral lemur-like creature had descendants who came down to Africa then rafted across to Madagascar hanging onto logs, maybe hibernating inside logs, there's one modern one which hibernates. when it got to Madagascar it found a kind of mini continent with all sorts of climates and areas to speciate into and developed happily into the modern lemurs we know today. 1:13:49 there...
