I finally went to Extrême Buritos in Antananarivo. I tried the "chicken cheese." It had a hotdog running down the middle of it. Other than that it was ... burrito-esque.

A Malagasy "taco" vendor. I couldn't finish mine. Our dogs did not complain.

They are based on the gastronomic abomination that the French dare to call "tacos" — mystery meat and soggy fries wrapped square in a tortilla.

Some dogs in my neighborhood look as though they wandered out of a black-and-white photograph.

In the middle of the city, I saw some swimming joy by the side of the road as I cycled by.

Sicilianews24.it: Addio a Justin Claude Rakotoarisoa, custode degli anfibi del Madagascar, scomparso a 45 anni.

La Ricchezza della Biodiversità in Madagascar
Il Madagascar ospita una parte straordinaria della diversità mondiale delle rane, con molte specie che non si trovano altrove. Questa unicità rende gli sforzi di conservazione locali cruciali per la sopravvivenza di questi animali. Tra coloro che si impegnano per proteggere le rane c’è Justin Claude Rakotoarisoa, un guida della regione di Andasibe. Attraverso l’organizzazione comunitaria Mitsinjo, ha contribuito a creare un impianto di allevamento in cattività per mantenere in vita le specie minacciate, fungendo anche da supporto contro la perdita di habitat e le malattie.
Rakotoarisoa, in gran parte autodidatta, ha svolto un ruolo fondamentale nel collegare ricercatori internazionali e comunità locali. Ha tradotto conoscenze tecniche in lingua malgascia, condividendo la sua esperienza con studenti, giornalisti e giovani lavoratori impegnati nella conservazione. La sua vita dimostra che una conservazione efficace in Madagascar dipende spesso più dagli sforzi locali costanti rispetto all’intervento di istituzioni lontane; persone pronte a dedicarsi a lavori meticolosi, anno dopo anno, per mantenere in vita specie fragili.

Farewell to Justin Claude Rakotoarisoa, custodian of the amphibians of Madagascar, who died at the age of 45.

The Wealth of Biodiversity in Madagascar

Madagascar hosts an extraordinary part of the world’s frog diversity, with many species found nowhere else. This uniqueness makes local conservation efforts crucial for the survival of these animals. Among those committed to protecting frogs is Justin Claude Rakotoarisoa, a guide from the Andasibe region. Through the community organization Mitsinjo, he has contributed to creating a captive breeding facility to keep threatened species alive, also providing support against habitat loss and disease.

Rakotoarisoa, largely self-taught, has played a fundamental role in connecting international researchers and local communities. He has translated technical knowledge into Malagasy, sharing his experience with students, journalists, and young people involved in conservation. His life demonstrates that effective conservation in Madagascar often depends more on the constant efforts of local people than on the intervention of distant institutions; people ready to dedicate themselves to meticulous work, year after year, to keep fragile species alive.
