AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

New Species Discovery: Researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison identified Adansonia bozy, a baobab found exclusively in Madagascar, using genetic analysis to reclassify northern populations previously grouped under Adansonia za—a move expected to reshape conservation priorities and funding for endangered trees. Biodiversity Recovery Funding: The Phoenix Species Project, backed by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Re:wild and Jeff Bezos’ Bezos Earth Fund, announced a $200m push to recover 100 critically endangered species worldwide; Madagascar’s golden-crowned sifaka is among the targets, with local NGOs set to reconnect fragmented forests. Madagascar Amphibian Research: A 12-year study has described seven new “diamond frog” species (Rhombophryne) in Madagascar, using museum specimens and DNA work to clarify hidden diversity and strengthen conservation planning. Connectivity via Satellites: Airtel and Starlink launched Africa’s first satellite-to-phone service in the DRC, letting compatible smartphones connect directly to satellites for SMS and limited data—without a dish—potentially expanding connectivity where mobile coverage is weak. Regional Tech & Trade: A Mauritius–Madagascar business forum opened in Antananarivo, bringing together companies across sectors including ICT, digital solutions, AI, and innovation.
