The forest has had several managers: Helen Crowley (1992-3), then recently Hajarimanitra Rambeloarivony and Sahoby Raharison.  It is currently managed by Claire de Heaulme Foulon and Didier Foulon.  Management involves patrolling to prevent poaching or grazing, nurseries of endemic species, and above all the removal of invasive plants species.
 

Periodically, we receive news from the Reserve Manager to keep us informed of conditions at the Reserve. You can find these news bulletins and more available in the Download Repository.
