A new video focusing on the chameleon survey programme in the rainforests of eastern Madagascar is now available on the Caméléon Centre Conservation’s YouTube channel. Through these images, we take you to the heart of Vohimana, Iaroka and Maromizaha, three forest massifs located in the Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor (CAZ), a region renowned for its exceptional biodiversity and its wealth of chameleon species.

On 9 May 2026, the Caméléon Center Conservation organised the very first International Chameleon Day in Andasibe. More than 1,000 participants - local residents, schoolchildren, students, scientists, guides, organisations, authorities and partners - came together to raise awareness of and protect the chameleons of Madagascar, a country that is home to nearly half of the world’s chameleon species.

The Caméléon Center Conservation is continuing to develop its regional chameleon conservation programme in eastern Madagascar with the launch of a new survey project in the Maromizaha Reserve. Located near Andasibe, this mid-altitude tropical rainforest covers nearly 2,640 hectares and forms part of the Ankeniheny-Zahamena Forest Corridor (CAZ), one of Madagascar’s most important ecological areas for the preservation of rainforests and their exceptional biodiversity.
