The global agenda of Nature conservation has led to the creation of
the Masoala National Park in Madagascar and to an exhibit in its
support at a Swiss zoo, the centerpiece of which is a
mini-rainforest replica. Does such a cooperation also trigger a
connection between ordinary people in these two far-flung places?
The study investigates how the Malagasy farmers living at the edge
of the park perceive the conservation enterprise and what people in
Switzerland see when looking towards Madagascar through the lens of
the zoo exhibit. It crystallizes that the stories told in either
place have almost nothing in common: one focuses on power and
history, the other on morality and progress. Thus, instead of
building a bridge, Nature conservation widens the gap between
people in the North and the South.
