they shouldn't be getting oil from a country where over half of the animals are endemic to that area, dendrobates, lemurs, birds, insects, way to many.

Corruption in Madagascar may not be as bad as some African countries, but it's still endemic. Money from this oil will help very few Malagasy people, but it will most likely devastate some stunning scenery and rare wildlife. Any plans to explore for oil in Isalo are just sad.

The day Madagascar goes into full oil exploitation ...that will be doomsday for that unique and beautiful country ! Why?! Look at the pattern in the other countries nearby having followed the same course .....
a> the internal indegenous mode of production would collapse with a mounting surge of imports of goods with the newfound abundant wealth derived from such an exploitation of a very much sought-after resource as oil ....
beefsteak from New Mexico will on the plate instead of the tasty local zebu-steak ! and much much more!!!!
b>Who will sit atop it and enjoy the most of it ? Which social class I mean ? Your guess is as good as mine ....
c> With such an equity on one's side who would not be tempted to gamble on and pit this country into further debt until its sovereignty fades out together with its unique flora and fauna .....
LongLive Madagascar ! Viva ! Never the less ...God Blessssssss!!!!!!!!!!
