It seems that the black people
who are soaring dust work well.
A female worker whoposeson the piled hemp.

She exchanges a grinning greeting withBonjour

Cassia,cactus, aloe, etc.,

Human food is scarce.

Ring-tailed lemur,
which has groups of30-40 and counts 500. He told me that there are about200200 Sifaka inhabiting here.
It was a pity that I couldn't see the comical
appearance of the sideways flight.

Photo enthusiast Prisca

Suddenly after lunch,
I was welcomed by the sideways flight of
"Verreaux's Sifaka".

There was no time to take out the camera,
and I finallycaught the still figure.

At first, only researchers in the park could get up close,
it was finally released to tourists25years ago, half a century later.

A protected area withside-flying lemur
that are famous inTV commercials
(88 km west of 250 ha)
It takes 4hours. Anyway, it's a bumpy road.

"Why don't you fix it?"

"Eat before the road"

100times more than a protected area
(25000ha).
Eight years after planting,the fibers are taken out bycutting (leaves similar to aloe)
