Analamazaotra Forest Station

Analamazaotra Forest Station is a community-managed protected area in Analamazaotra National Park, and adjacent to Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, in the Alaotra-Mangoro region of east-central Madagascar. It consists of 710 hectares of rain forest and restored habitat. It is managed through a contract between the local community-run organization Mitsinjo and the Ministère des Eaux et Forets. Much of the forest station is being reforested with native vegetation through a habitat restoration project. Part of the David Attenborough-hosted 2011 BBC Madagascar documentary was filmed at Analamazaotra Forest Station, including a scene where lowland streaked tenrecs cross a small stream.
