Alternatively, local arrangements can be made via the Marojejy Guides Association. Its approximately 30 members are certified by [https://www.parcs-madagascar.com/parcs/marojejy.php Madagascar National Parks]. Dealing directly with the local guides can offer the best value for both visitors and the guides. Most of the guides, all of the porters, cooks, forest guards and workers maintaining the trail are from the local communities. {| class="imageTable"|-|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_795.jpg|196px]]|align="center"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_799.jpg|196px]]|align="right"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_793.jpg|196px]]|-|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_813.jpg|196px]]|align="center"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_698.jpg|196px]]|align="right"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_780.jpg|196px]]|-|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_812.jpg|196px]]|align="center"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_350.jpg|196px]]|align="right"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_466.jpg|196px]]|-|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_683.jpg|196px]]|align="center"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_645.jpg|196px]]|align="right"|[[File:Marojejy_National_Park_730.jpg|196px]]|-|}
As the local population become more engaged and relient on ecotourism than farming alone it helps preserve the natural environment of the rainforest. This works when the forest's park boundaries are respected and when the locals avoid overusing nature's precious resources by not unnecessarily clearing land for farming purposes in and around the forested area.
