Great to get to enjoy this very historic and vibrant city on the South Coast of Cuba. Streets are pretty quiet here filmed at around 6 a.m. so could see the cobblestone streets and old buildings.

Unfortunately unless action is taking this is a very real and possible future. The Madagascar people are very kind people, but have to make the best of what situation they are in. Do to the low amount of work and money in the county they rely on whatever source of income they have, in this case the Rain Forest. The Forest is becoming smaller every year and even the government protected Forest is harvested.
Not sure what the answer is or if there is one, great experience to get to visit there and hike. Traveled with the locals by mini-bus and as uncomfortable that was at times would not trade a minute of the journey.
More details and pictures can be found on the Madagascar page on this site.
