NATIONAL PARKS & RESERVE
 
The environnemental movement in Madagascar began in earnest in 1985, with an International conference of scientists, funding organizations and Malagasy government officials. Biologist knew Madagascar was an oasis of amazing creatures and plants, but devastation, logging and the burning of Malagasy forests were threatening these treasures. Concerned international donors and the Malagasy government joined together to plan a major conservation program. By 1989 Madagascar had the world’s first country-wide Environmental Action Plan, which offered a blueprint for biodiversity action for the next 20years.The first order of the day was to create a national park system, called the “Association National pour la Gestion des Aires Protégées” (ANGAP National Association for the Management of Protected Areas), and then set ANGAP to work on creating new parks and training new staff. The three categories below were established to protect natural ecosystems and threatened species:
