The Angonoka is an endemic species, but threatened by the degradation of its natural habitat, mainly caused by bush fires and illegal traffic. The project for the conservation and protection of this species in the Bay of Baly, Soalala district, Boeny region, supported by the Tany Meva Foundation within the framework of the CEPF project, is helping to reduce the burnt area of their habitat. And likewise, trafficking no longer exists thanks to the pugnacity of the local community.
