Last year, the Rainforest Trust awarded more than $1 million in funding to Sadabe and another Malagasy NGO, Madagasikara Voakajy, to establish a permanent Tsinjoarivo Protected Area. Irwin and Samonds are spearheading the creation of the 65,506-acre, high-altitude rainforest preserve. Species in the Tsinjoarivo area include critically endangered primates such as the Sibree’s Dwarf lemur and Diademed Sifaka and two critically endangered orchids known solely from Tsinjoarivo. (..) We will be protecting almost 30,000 hectares, about 65,000 acres, of rainforest. Our group, Sadabe, will be the contract manager of the area.
