It doesn't help that USAID have seemingly suspended their environmental contracts, as have the IMF and World Bank. We see consistently that in times of upheaval, unrest, and decentralization, that localized subsistence often means a rise of bush meat hunting (primates in particular). We at WWF-US still have active staff over there, and WWF-Madagascar is working overtime. WCS has also remained in place.

Do you know of any good charities to get behind?

I am in talks of having a fund raiser here at work, we do 5% days, where 5% of our profits go directly to said charity.

I also want to do more. So, if you have any ideas of what I or anyone else reading could do, feel free to share.
