MADAGASCAR WILDLIFE ADVENTURE TRIP ITINERARY

The document outlines a wildlife adventure trip in Madagascar from September 4–16, 2025, led by WWF's Western Indian Ocean Seascape Director. The itinerary covers various national parks and private reserves, including Andasibe-Mantadia, Ranomafana, Isalo, Zombitse-Vohibasia, and the Anjajavy Private Reserve. The journey emphasizes the island's unique biodiversity, specifically its lemur populations, and integrates educational components regarding WWF's conservation work to combat habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade, and climate change.

• Madagascar possesses exceptional biodiversity, with more than 80% of its rare plants and animals, including over 100 lemur varieties, found nowhere else on Earth.
• Lemurs in Madagascar are critically threatened, with 103 out of 107 species (96%) facing extinction due to illegal pet trade and habitat loss caused by subsistence farming and the clearing of forests for firewood and charcoal.
• WWF implements several conservation strategies in Madagascar, including partnering with the government to establish sustainable development targets, restoring degraded ecosystems, providing ecotourism training for communities, and managing the Amoron’i Onilahy Protected Area in the southwest.
• The island's flora and fauna are under pressure from multiple drivers, specifically climate change, illegal wildlife trade, and rampant forest clearing, which have brought some chameleon species near extinction.
