Madagascar Day Gecko, Anjajavy
Anjajavy's new reserve includes a large and very important area of mangroves vital for their ability to store carbon dioxide. Not only that, it is a perfect solution for filtering the silt in the rivers, for making a barrier against cyclone damage, creating firebreaks, providing a shelter for animals and as a nursery for multiple species of tiny fish. Over the last 3 years they have planted more than 250,000 trees, including the planting of baobab trees to rival the famous Baobab Alley in Morondava in 800 years' time. The Madagascan Periwinkle can also be found at Anjajavy, an endemic plant to Madagascar. It has become famous recently for its successful treatment of leukemia.
