3Madagascar is arguably most renowned for its unique biodiversity.Tsy isalasalana fa ny resaka tontolo iainana manokana misy ao aminy, no ahafantaran'a an'i Madagasikara indrindra.

5One of the most famous Malagasy artists of all time, Rossy, wrote a famous song called “Resa-babakoto” (translation: discussing the apes) which includes this verse (mg):
6The apes and the forest are well-taken care of. One spends a lot of money, billions on them [..]Rossy izay isan'ny mpanakanto Malagasy malaza indrindra no namorona ny hira “Resa-babakoto” izay ahitana ity andininy manaraka ity:
7Rakoto (average Joe) is struggling, no one really cares.Ny gidro sy ny ala, Tsara karakara Andaniana drala, Amina miliara [..]
8His children are crying, no one would ask why.Rakoto ‘ty mijaly, tsisy mpitotaly Ny zanany tomany, tsisy mpanontany

12His view on the environment was probably not the reason for the sudden censorship but the current government has placed a strong emphasis on the environment as a major factor in sustainable development.Angamba tsy ny fomba fijeriny ara-pôlitika ara-tontolo iainana loatra no anton'izany fandraràna tampoka izany anefa tsara koa ny manamarika fa isan'ny tsindrian'ny governemanta ankehitriny ho isan'ireo fototra ijoroan'ny fampandrosoana maharitra ny fiarovana ny tontolo iainana.

18If you are slightly puzzled by that quote and unsure of its purpose, you are probably not the only one.Raha somary very ianareo ka misalasala ny amin'ny fototr'izany fanambarana izany dia aza manahy fa tsy irery ianareo.
