GIS Layers

Madagascar: Ranamafana National Park + Ialatsara Lemur Forest Camp

 

 

The following GIS layers are intended to aid researchers working in and around Ranamafana National Park, Madagascar            

 

Considerations:

1. GPS’d data have an accuracy of 8m or less

2. GPS Mapping was a joint effort among Brian Gerber (Virginia Tech), Belita Marine (Virginia Tech), Johny Randrianantenaina (Centrel Valbio), and Dina Andrianoely (Centrel Valbio).

3. Subsequent data is free for public use, however the use in publication should use proper acknowledgment. 

 

**Shapefiles are projected in WGS1984– 38S**
