MADAGASCAR WILDLIFE ADVENTURE TRIP ITINERARY

The document outlines a guided wildlife adventure in Madagascar from September 4–16, 2025, led by WWF expert Rachel Kramer. The itinerary covers several national parks and private reserves, including Andasibe-Mantadia, Ranomafana, Isalo, Zombitse-Vohibasia, and Anjajavy, focusing on endemic species like lemurs. It integrates educational components on WWF's work to combat deforestation, illegal wildlife trade, and natural resource corruption.

• Madagascar possesses extreme biodiversity, with over 80% of its rare plants and animals, including more than 100 lemur varieties, found nowhere else on Earth.
• Lemurs in Madagascar are critically threatened, with 96% of the 107 known species facing extinction due to illegal pet trade and habitat loss caused by subsistence farming and the collection of firewood and wood charcoal.
• WWF implements several conservation strategies in Madagascar, including collaborating with the government on sustainable development targets, restoring degraded ecosystems, providing ecotourism training for communities, and managing the Amoron’i Onilahy Protected Area.
• The island's flora and fauna are under pressure from three primary drivers: climate change, illegal wildlife trade, and rampant forest clearing.
• Rachel Kramer, the trip's expert, is the Deputy Chief of Party for a $45 million USAID investment called the Targeting Natural Resource Corruption project, which aims to strengthen anti-corruption measures in global conservation, including in Madagascar.
