None of the Sadabe activities would have been possible without the co-operation and collaboration of the Malagasy government, and we are grateful for their ongoing support. Specifically, we thank the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Tourism (MEFT), the Ad-Hoc Committee for Flora and Fauna (CAFF/CORE), the government of the Vakinankaratra Region, the government of Tsinjoarivo Commune, and the leaders and communities of the various fokon'tany in which our activities occur.
We are also extremely grateful to Stephen Nash of Conservation International for our logo and Matthew Martin for graphics.
