'An enchanting book...poignant and passionate.' Geographical 'A
captivating and absorbing account.' Sir David Attenborough
Madagascar is one of the world's natural jewels, with over ninety
per cent of its wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Few people
knew it better than the pioneering primatologist and
conservationist, Alison Jolly. Thank You, Madagascar is her
eyewitness account of the extraordinary biodiversity of the island,
and the environment of its people. At the book's heart is a
conflict between three different views of nature. Is the
extraordinary forest treasure-house of Madagascar a heritage for
the entire world? Is it a legacy of the forest dwellers' ancestors,
bequeathed to serve the needs of their living descendants? Or is it
an economic resource to be pillaged for short-term gain and to be
preserved only to deliver benefits for those with political power?
Exploring and questioning these different views, this is a
beautifully written diary and a tribute to Madagascar.
