One problem with taking on an entire
region in a conservation project is that
it requires frequently moving around
within the region. Fortunately, the
roads of the SAVA are in excellent con-
dition compared to the rest of Mada-
gascar, but constantly renting vehicles/
drivers is a drain on project funds. And
of course there is the uncertainty of
always having to locate and rely on
rentals. Those problems are behind us
now, thanks to generous donations by
Virgin Unite/Sir Richard Branson
, and
Alexandra and Bill Anlyan
, which have
allowed us to purchase a project vehi-
cle! DLC-SAVA Conservation is now the proud owner of Toyota Hi-lux, 4x4, double cab, pick-up truck (see pho-
tos).
Many, many thanks to Virgin Unite and the Anlyans for making the vehicle purchase possible.
