New SAVA Logo
Although very pleased with our SAVA
Conservation “lemurs in shield” logo as
designed by Stephan Nash (whose artwork
graces the pages of the “Lemurs of
Madagascar”), we decided that a tie-in with
the DLC logo was needed. Kimio Honda, who
designed our DLC logo some years back, was
kind enough to help us out with that process.
As you can see here, not only did Kimio add the leaves from the DLC logo, but also gave us a
much more professional look by retooling our amateurish addition of text to Stephen’s
original logo. The result (we feel) is a more professional
looking logo, which is linked to the DLC logo through
the text form as well as the leaf placement.
A very sincere thank you to Kimio for his donated
efforts at a time when he was already juggling a
multitude of other tasks. And thanks to Stephen for
producing the original SAVA Conservation logo. Both
Stephen and Kimio have been generous friends of DLC
for many years.

Razia Said Visits SAVA Conservation
On June 17, noted New York-based
Malagasy musician Razia Said visited the SAVA
Conservation office in Sambava. Lanto was in
Sambava at the time and gave her the grand
tour of our new base of operations. Razia is a
staunch defender of Madagascar’s forests and
natural heritage, and much of her recent
music reflects that commitment:
She is
originally from the town of Antalaha, on the
southern edge of the SAVA region, and was in
the area with her daughter, to visit family.
Many thanks to Razia for the visit, and we
hope to be able to host her at Marojejy
National Park at some future date!
