Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor (CAZ) is one of the newly established protected areas in Madagascar (formally gazetted in 2015 - Conseil du Gouvernement - Mardi 28 Avril 2015). It includes one of the largest remaining rainforest patches in eastern Madagascar and connects a number of existing National Parks and Reserves, including Zahamena, Mangerivola and Andasibe-Mantadia. It has been a site for several international research projects in the last 5 years, including the P4ges project, which has resulted in more than 10 large datasets - full list at the bottom of the page here.

Some further details on Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor can be found here.

Greetings all, this should be an instance of ecological corridor.

@lschriml is now chief editor for GAZ and will pick up this request. Lynn, please let me know if you need some assistance from the ENVO side. If you need more time to get your team working in GAZ, we can create a temporary term in ENVO (not desirable, but can help with timeliness).

@lschriml, also, definitions in GAZ should always begin by stating the ENVO category. So this definition would begin "An ecological corridor which....". This helps with text-mining and automapping.

Hello @mpoudyal -- thank you for the update. I am just getting GAZ v2 up and running. Still working out where to host, due to it's large size.

I'll add an update here shortly.

Cheers, Lynn
