Madagascar Bara Herder, Madagascar, 1999

"Bara herders tread lightly on the land, partly because taboos prohibit their exploitation of the forests on Mount Analavelona. Few of the island's slash-and-burn farmers are similarly restrained."

—From "Restoring Madagascar," February 1999, National Geographic magazine
