2As the world's nations gather today in Copenhagen for the United Nations Convention on Climate Change, Madagascar, having already lost 90% of its original forest, faces continued threats from black market logging.Raha manatrika vovonana iraisam-pirenena karakarain'ny Firenena Mikambana momba ny toetr'andro any Copenhagen ny firenen-drehetra dia Madagascar, nahapotika sahady ny 90%n'ny ala voajanahariny i Madagasikara, ary mbola iharan'ny fanondranana hazoala an-tsokosoko hatrany.

4The details of this very profitable traffic have been made public and shared by many citizen bloggers and scientific publications.Naseho ampahibemaso tamin'ny vahoaka ary nifampizaran'ny mpamaham- bolongana sy ny famoaham-boky aman-gazety siantifika ny antsipirian'io bizina tsy ara-dalàna ahazoam-bolabe io.
5The latest report produced by Global Witness and Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) states that about $460,000 USD worth of trade is cut down each day, with enforcement efforts hampered by the continued absence of a government of national unity.Ny tatitra farany navoakan'ny Global Witness [Vavolombelona Ankapobe] sy ny Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) [Sampana mpanadihady ny Tontolo iainana] dia nametraka fa tokotokony ho $460,000 Amerikana isan'andro eo ho eo ny sandan'ny hazo very, noho ny mbola tsy nahatafatsangana ny governemanta iraisana [iaraha-mitantana].
6The full report is available here (and in French here).Azonao jerena ato ny tatitra iray manontolo (ary ny amin'ny teny Frantsay dia ato).
7Malagasy blogger Achille quotes from the report (fr):Sarina Bolabola nasehon'i Achille52, ao amin'ny http://reflexiums.wordpress.com
8In 2009, eight containers left the port of Vohemar with 19,730 round logs and 50,584 flat logs in 324 containers authorised by the MEF (see annex 9).Mampiseho ny anaran'ny mpandika lalàna sy ny lanjan'ny hazo naondrany tsy ara-dalàna ny tatitra. Indroa misesy ny mpamaham-bolonana malagasy Achille no nanasongadina izay nolazain'ny tatitra (fr):
9En 2009, huit navires porte-containers ont quitté Vohémar avec à leur bord un total de 19 730 rondins et 50 584 planches dans 324 containers autorisés par le MEF (voir Annexe 9).
10This is the equivalent of 9700 tons of rosewood.Cela revient à environ 9 700 tonnes de bois de rose.
11Sambo mpitondra vitrano (container) valo tamin'ity taona 2009 ity no nahazo alalana avy tamin'ny minisiteran'ny ala sy ny tontolo iainana ka niala tao amin'ny seranan'i Vohemar nitondra bolabola miisa 19730 sy hazofisaka-na bolabola 50 584 tao anatina vitrano 324 (jereo ny tovana 9).
12Video showing the life of the villagers living in the area demonstrates that they clearly did not benefit from the rosewood traffic:Izany hoe 9700 taonina bolabola io. Lahatsary iray mampiseho ny fiainana andavanandron'ny mponina manodidina ny toeram-pitrandrahana no manaporofo fa tsy mahazo tombotsoa amin'ity fitrandrahana bolabola ity ny mponina:
13When one compares the $460,000 a day from the trade with the fact that 89% of the Malagasy population live with less than $2 a day, it is easy to understand why corruption and inequality are commonly regarded as the main obstacles to human development in Madagascar.Raha ampitahaina ny vola maty $460 000 isan'andro sy ny zavamisy manamarika fa mandray vola latsaky ny $2 isan'andro ny 89%n'ny Malagasy, dia mora dia mora ny mahatakatra fa sakana fototra mankamin'ny fampandrosoana ny mahaolona ny kolikoly sy ny elanelam-pidiram-bola lehibe loatra.
14Another independent report supported by the Jane Goodall Institute Schweiz was published this week confirming the extent of what the authors, Schuurman and Lowry, call the “Madagascar Rosewood Massacre” (pdf).Nivoaka ihany koa tamin'ity herinandro ity ny tatitra mahaleotena hafa notohanan'ny Ivotoerana Soisa Jane Goodall manamafy ny efa nolazain'ny mpanoratra, Schuurman sy Lowry, ho “Fandripahana ny Bolabolan'i Madagasikara ” (pdf).
15The authors also contributed to this video to raise awareness of the extent of the loss in biodiversity due to the traffic:Nandray anjara tamin'ny fanatontosana ity lahatsary manaraka ity ihany koa ireo mpanoratra hanairana ny fahaverezan'ny harena voajanahary noho ny fitrandrahana:
16The US Senate legislated on this issue and Congressman Blumenauer (D-Oregon) wrote in a statement:Efa namoaka lalàna momba ity raharaha ity ny Antenimieran-doholona Amerikana ka hoy ny fanambarana nosoratan'ny Depiote Blumenauer (D-Oregon) :
17After a coup in March, the new and weakened government of Andry Rajoelina issued sweeping decrees allowing the harvest and export of wood from protected forests and World Heritage Sites.Taorian'ny fanonganam-panjakana tamin'ny volana marsa teo dia namoaka didim-pitondrana maro manome alalana malalaka ny fanondranana hazo avy any amin'ny ala arovana sy toerana voasoratra ho haren'izao tontolo izao ny fitondrana vaovao sy malemy an'i Andry Rajoelina.
18The Obama administration has condemned the de facto government, and the Wildlife Conservation Society, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and Conservation International have denounced the wholesale exploitation of some of the world's most diverse forests and decimation of the local population's resources and livelihoodsEfa nanameloka ny governemanta tafajoro ny fitondran'i Obama, ary manameloka ny ny fitrandrahana tafahoatra ny ala manana harena voajanahary indrindra manerantany sy fandripahana ny loharanom-piainan'ny mponina ao an-toerana ny World Wildlife Fund (WWF) sy ny Conservation International
19The rosewood scandal have now had a serious impact in the political process of Madagascar.Manana fiantraikany goavana amin'ny fifandaminana politika eto Madagasikara izao raharaha maizina momba ny bolabola io.
20Former president Albert Zafy threatened to disclose names in the current Rajoelina government if a solution to unblock the deadlock over the government of national union is not found soon.Nandrahona ny hamoaka ny anaran'ireo tafiditra amin'ity raharaha ity ka ao anatin'ny fitondran-dRajoelina raha tsy mitsangana ny governemantan'ny firaisam-pirenena ny filoha teo aloha Zafy Albert.
21The necessity to reach a government of national union is also pressed on by the conditionality of foreign investments by the United States ( AGOA and MCC) and the European Union (fr) (NB: 70% of the Malagasy government budget come from foreign aid).Tsy maintsy atao manko izay hahatafatsangana io governemantan'ny fampiraisam-pirenena io satria izay no fepetra takian'ny fampiasam-bola amerikana ( AGOA sy MCC) sy Vondrona Eoropeana (fr) (NB: Mbola miankina amin'ny fampindramam-bola avy any ivelany manko ny 70%n'ny tetibolan'ny fitondrana malagasy).
22Interestingly, this decree allowed for the legal investigation of Gibson guitars.Tsara ny manamarika fa nahafahana manao fanadihadiana ara-pitsarana ny mpanao gitara Gibson ny didim-pitondrana nivoaka.
23Their headquarters were raided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service because the guitars were made from rosewood from the illegal traffic in Madagascar.Nanaovan'ny US Fish and Wildlife Service ny foiben-toeran'izy ireo satria namboarina avy tamin'ny hazo naondrana an-tsokosoko avy eto Madagasikara ny gitara vokarin'izy ireo.
24Judging from reactions of Twitter users around the world, the fact that Gibson guitars were implicated provoked more reactions that the potential loss of the ring-tail lemur habitat.Raha jerena avy amin'ny famoahan-kevitra ataon'ny mpampiasa Twitter manerantany dia nanaitra ny olona kokoa ilay hoe tafiditra amin'ity raharaha ity ny Gibson guitars noho ilay mety ho fanjavonan'ny toera-ponenan'ny gidro.
25The issue of deforestation in Madagascar is unfortunately not limited to rosewood trafficking.Indrisy anefa fa tsy voafetra eo amin'ny fitrandrahana sy fanondranana y bolabola ihany ity resaka fandripahana ny ala eto Madagasikara ity.
26Slash and burn agriculture has caused much of the anthropogenic deforestation of the region.Mamotika sy manimba ny ala ihany koa ny tavy sy ny doro-tanety.
27The NGO Vakanala has produced a remarkable 3D real time visualization of the numbers of bush fires affecting Madagascar:Namokatra fijerena an-tsary tora-telo na 3D ireo doro-tanety manimba an'i Madagasikara ny ONG Vakanala:

29Rosewood via Achille52, at http://reflexiums.wordpress.com Similarily, the Malagasy NGO Mistinjo has also focused its effort on capacity building of local communities that work towards forest restoration and carbon sequestration in Andasibe.Tahaka izany ihany koa ny ONG Malagasy Mitsinjo izay mifantoka amin'ny fampivoarana ny fahaiza-manaon'ny fokonolona ao an-toerana izay misahana ny fanavaozana ny ala sy fandevenana (fanamboarana?) arina ao Andasibe.
30Local bloggers have been raising awareness over the loss of the national rain forest for a long time ago now.Efa ela no nanaitra ny amin'ny fahaverezan'ny ala ny mpamaham-bolongana eto an-toerana.
31But they do more than just raising awareness, Patrick, a blogger from Tamatave, has been steadily replanting trees in the Toamasina region and involved many other associations in this process:Tsy nijanona tamin'ny fanairana ihany, Patrick, mpamaham-bolongana avy any Toamasina ohatra dia tsy mitsahatra ny mamboly hazo any amin'ny faritra misy azy any ary mandray anjara anatin'ny fikambanana hafa amin'ny fanaovana izany:
