The Makira Natural Park will be one of Madagascar’s largest protected areas, and one of the first to be created under the president’s “Durban Vision”, which aims to triple the area under protection during the period 2003-2008. Located in the north east of Madagascar, this park will protect mostly mid altitude rainforest as well as the watersheds of some of the country’s most vital river systems. In addition to being extremely important for biodiversity conservation in its own right, Makira will provide a forested connection between the Masoala National Park with other protected areas to the north such as Anjanaharibe-sud Reserve and Marojejy National Park, thus ensuring their long term ecological viability.
