Three questions for Hasina
What is your motivation for the Masoala project?
I'm doing my dream job, helping to save Madagascar's unique biodiversity.
An unforgettable moment in your project?
When I spent four months in the forest, away from everything (family and loved ones), and watched my first video of a fossa on a camera trap, collected after a 6-hour walk. (Editor's note: the fossa is the largest native predator in Madagascar).
Your biggest wish for your project?
That we reach the point where we can say: Our landscape and seascape are healthy, our conservation goals have been achieved.
