'''The National Association of Management of Protected Areas, ANGAP (''Association National de Gestion des Aires Protégées'') has changed name from ANGAP to ''[[Madagascar National Parks]]''.''' The slogan "For life" and a new logo represented by the catta lemur is part of a new identity of the association. At the press launch of the new name, held at the [http://www.hotel-restaurant-laresidence.com Hotel La Residence], the general director, Guy Suzon Ramangason said the rebranding will be accompanied by an advertising campaign. A short film broadcast on national parks is planned to be shown on [[Air Madagascar]] and possibly Air France long distance flights.
There will also be new parks managed by community associations or private enterprises. Madagascar currently has 47 protected areas acovering about 2 million hectares.
