Centre ValBio
The ValBio Research Station is located adjacent to Ranomafana National Park in southeastern Madagascar—400 km southeast of Antananarivo—near the Talatakely Trail entrance.
It is a state-of-the-art research facility that has been the staging point for dozens of PhD theses, hundreds of master theses, has produced over 1,000 publications and was the filming location for the IMAX/Warner Brothers documentary “Island of Lemurs: Madagascar”, based on the work of Dr. Patricia C. Wright—the architect of Ranomafana and a global conservation icon.
