Goodman Awarded By Malagasy Government
On May 31, in a forested area a few hours from Antananarivo, Steve Goodman, MacArthur Field Biologist, received an award from the Malagasy government for the role he has played in advancing research on Madagascar.
The ceremony took place in conjunction with festivities for the Journée Internationale de la Biodiversité (International Biodiversity Day). Madagascar’s recently named Minister of the Environment, Max Fontaine, presented the award. Steve describes him as “a notably young and dynamic fellow who is very engaged in reforestation projects,” and the two have met recently to discuss various conservation issues and projects of Association Vahatra. After the ceremony Steve congratulated the minister for considering the importance of research in the development of conservation programs on the island.
