@AndryRasamuel @Papaco_IUCN @KfW_int @CentreValBio @DurrellWildlife @GERPmadagascar @USMadagascar @WorldBank @NiamhBrann Madagascar's top 10 visited protected areas account for 92.5% of entry tickets sold, despite the inclusion of new PAs. Political insecurity and remoteness are factors that influence visitation.

@MadagConservDev @ParksMadagascar @wwf_mada @ConservationOrg A much needed clarification! Protected areas are a key conservation approach. Boundaries matter. Not just for communities, but also scientist reporting on PAs.

Madagascar’s rainforests are incessantly targeted by predatory illegal logging circles for endemic #rosewood and ebony.
Indri (@IUCNRedList Critically Endangered) is wholly dependent upon the protection of its #Madagascar rainforest home.

[TheConscientiousEnvironmentalist @silvatropica]

The #Madagascar Action Plan was simply never implemented. None of the stockpiles has ever been secured and many are hiding in plain sight. Further troubling is the amplified risk of freshly logged #Rosewood being laundered. @CITESCoP19 act now!

[TheConscientiousEnvironmentalist @silvatropica]

For the reputation and integrity of @CITES, please @CITESCoP19 take action to address Madagascar’s rosewood crisis. Now is the time to use your influence to prevent transnational criminal syndicates from further trading of illegally sourced stockpiles.

[TheConscientiousEnvironmentalist @silvatropica]

Let’s face it, the transnational syndicates freely chop and change between trafficking different contraband products, and have the resources to wait it out when conditions are unfavourable for them to trade in any particular species. @CITESCoP19 Act now!

Hope that the rosewood working group will happen. Rumours are that Madagascar wants to push it back to next Wednesday.
