The announcement of a gradual opening of the borders of the Great Island is good news for the Madagascar National Parks (MNP) network. In 2 years of pandemic, just like all tourism stakeholders, MNP continues its activities as well as badly. An audit and monitoring and evaluation mission of FAPBM led by the officers, Evah Ralalarisoa and Serge Ratsirahonana examined the ongoing work on the ecotourism component in the National Park of Ranomafana (Fianarantsoa Region, south of Madagascar). Recommendations have been issued to keep and maintain the necessary infrastructure for ecotourism activities.
UNESCO World Heritage as a component of the rainforests of Atsinanana and the 4th most visited national park in Madagascar, Ranomafana is an asset to the tourism sector. In 2019, more than thirty hotels and fifty guides benefited from the existence of this protected area. If we take into account the contribution of its ecosystem to the production of hydroelectric power at the regional level through the supply of the Namorona dam, as well as its agricultural contributions through irrigation water supply and erosion control, the site becomes one of the most remunerative terrestrial protected areas in Madagascar.
