Gasycool a strong advocate of Atsinana region’s biodiversity cause is spreading the news that the UNESCO World Site Heritage 2007 is in great danger. These are the direct aftermaths of the 3 months political struggles the country is still experiences when the absence of authority lead bad intended people to exploit without authorization. This time we are facing urgent danger, Madagascar may loose what is left of its primary forest….
After Marojejy invasion, we are informed that there are about 3000 people moving to Masohala, let`s see what they are talking about:
- the national park of Marojejy was closed for tourism.
- 3000 people move to Masoala to extract the invaluable essence.
- Abdillah, former strong man of Vohémar (from which the containers leave wood towards China or Tamatave, strange coincidence) encouraged the population to cut all the forest because it belongs to them.
- Called into question of the SRI in Andapa by old authorities under pretext that it is with Ravalomanana that this happened to be developed.
- the Chinese, once finished with the trunks, would be interested in the stump of the bois de rose! (rose wood)
Are we going to make it worse?
In Ivoloina park, part of Atsinana forest
It’s caused very bad consequences to the tourism sectors. Actually the tourists are still afraid to come here in Mada. That’s bad.
Didn’t really know about all this
