A woman and child outside their home in the Masoala Peninsula, Madagascar, on September 19, 2023. The fate of biodiversity conservation and rural development in Madagascar is closely interlinked and climate stress is likely to impact both severely.
Hunting of endangered lemurs is one of the largest threats to the animals’ survival, but recent work from National Geographic Explorer Cortni Borgerson is showing that bug farming canÃłand hasÃłsaved lemur lives. In a pilot project in northeast Madagascar, Borgerson and colleagues supplied 100 households living on the edge of the Masoala National Park with bean plants that could easily be planted in disused areas around the edges of homes and between other cropsÃłspecies that were also known to attract local bugs called sakondry, or the bacon bug. This work has increased urgency as Masoala, a UNESCO world heritage forest, faces growing threats from illegal trafficking of precious woods, land clearing for cash and food crops, and the exploitation of marine resources for international markets.
