Centre
ValBio Construction
Centre de Formation International pour
la Valorisation de la Biodiversité
International Training Center for the Study
of Biodiversity
ICTE has upgraded the research and training facilities
at Ranomafana National Park. In mid-2003, research and
training activities moved from the old facility inside
the park (Ranomafana National Park Research Station) to
the new facility just outside the park (Centre ValBio).
Financial support for the upgrade came from the National
Science Founation, the University of Helsinki, United
Nations Foundation/UNESCO, Nando Peretti Foundation, and Stony
Brook University.
Below are some photos of the construction project. This
Acrobat Adobe file is a more detailed slide show of the
construction of the Centre ValBio.
