Five years ago the MBP embarked on a startling new challenge in southeast Madagascar- planting trees. Madagascar is renown for biodiversity and unique radiations of animals, but sadly also well known for the amount of forest lost to slash and burn agriculture. In order to protect the remaining animals, the MBP began a reforestation project, putting seedlings back on barren hillsides. This monumentus effort has culminated in the countdown to reach the one million tree mark, which will happen next week! The past year has been incredibly rewarding being part of a group that has such diverse interests, from empirical research, to education and outreach. I'm very fourtunate to be able to contribute to such an interesting project, aimed at helping not only the animals, but the people living in Madagascar! Congratulations to all of the researchers, students, technicians, and Malagasy working on this project, what a huge accomplishment!
