"Firaketana Ireo Firaketana ireo fahalalana mahakasika ny karazam-biby sy zava-maniry andemika eto Madagasikara miainga avy amin’ny fitantarana tantara"

RAZAFITSIAFAJATO Armand dia teknisiana mpikaroka ao amin’ny Centre ValBio Ranomafana Madagasikara. Efa hatramin’ny taona 1999 no naha teknisiana mpikaroka azy momban’ny botany. Ary vokatry ny fiaraha miasa tamin’ireo mpikaroka avy any ivelany (ohatra: firenena) ireo dia manana traikefa manokana ny manao phenology ihany koa izy. Efa maro ireo karazana tetik’asa nosahaniny nandritra izay 21 taona izay tahaka ny. Ankoatra izay dia manaramaso ireo biby sy zavamaniry ao amin’ny ala arovana ao amin’ny parka Ranomafana Ifanadiana Madagascar ihany koa izy. Ny fialamboly tiany dia ny mijery ny voliny any antsahany.
