In early May, SAVA Conservation was delighted to host
and US Em-
bassy staff Luke Zahner (the new communication and cultural officer) and public affairs
officer Eric Atkins. The interest and support in environmental issues shown by the US Em-
bassy has been extremely helpful to SAVA Conservation. Dr. Millhollen was kind enough to
deliver a very well attended lecture on ring-tailed lemur ecology and behavior from her
many years of work at Berenty Reserve. When researchers take the time to report the re-
sults of their research to the Malagasy community, it represents another valuable form of
environmental education and validates the efforts of the guides and park staff who as-
sisted with data collection. We truly had a “dream team” for our Marojejy visit which in-
cluded many thoughtful discussions of conservation, sustainable development, and tour-
ism in Madagascar.
