Rainforest and vibrant town life merge in the village of Ranomafana: lemurs by the road, partridges in the outskirts and vangas in the village gardens bring nature into everyday life.

A fieldwork stay in this research station in the middle of Madagascar’s montane rainforest resulted in living among incredible endemics: sunbirds, vangas, tetrakas, cuckoo-rollers, lemurs, geckos, chameleons and more.
