Lokobe Reserve, Protected rainforest reserve in Nosy Be island, Madagascar
The 740-hectare reserve contains populations of black lemurs, mouse lemurs, chameleons, and over 100 bird species within its lowland forest environment.
The nature reserve received official protected status in 1927, establishing itself as one of Madagascar's earliest conservation areas for primary forest preservation.
The Sakalava and Antakarana communities near the reserve maintain traditional connections with the forest through their customs and practices.
Visitors reach the reserve by taking a pirogue from Ambanoro village through mangrove waters, followed by guided walking trails through the forest.
The reserve houses the last remaining primary lowland rainforest of Nosy Be, providing a refuge for native species like the Nosy Be panther chameleon.
