Woman in Daraina forest

Woman whose family live in the protected forest of Daraina, home of the Golden-crowned sifaka or Tattersall's sifaka (Propithecus tattersalli) in North-east MADAGASCAR. Although FANANBY a local Madagascar NGO is working in Daraina to proclaim this forest as a protected site for the sifakas many people still live there and continue with slash-and-burn agriculture or mining which is encroaching into the little forest that remains and thus putting the long-term conservation of this already threatened species at more risk.
