Notes: WWF, while the oldest and largest, is only one of many actors investing in conservation on the island. Note also that strong WWF expenditures in the past few years, since the 2009 political crisis, reflect its ability to seek alternative funding through its global network at a time when much traditional bilateral and multilateral donor environmental funding has dried up. Many other conservation actors have struggled to maintain funding and activities in the current political situation. Sources: FY63 to FY93 are from WWF International as reported in Kull (1996); FY91–FY2012 were kindly provided by WWF Madagascar. Note that differences in accounting procedures result in inconsistent data between the two series (the 1962–1993 data, for example, only includes those funds passing through the Swiss headquarters of WWF International). Note also that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates strongly affect the figures.2014-09-09T00:49:27+00:00monthlyhttps://christiankull.net/2014/07/17/field-trip-report-madagascar-2014/2014-07-17T03:51:26+00:00monthlyhttps://christiankull.net/2013/10/11/cerisy/https://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_0905.jpgIMG_0905A colloquium session in the castle's libraryhttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_0891.jpgIMG_0891The speakers' tablehttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_0889.jpgIMG_0889Chateau Cérisy-la-Sallehttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_0888.jpgIMG_0888Gardens of the chateau2014-05-24T23:20:16+00:00monthlyhttps://christiankull.net/2013/03/20/melting-pots-of-biodiversity/https://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/kull-et-al-2013-melting-pots-first-page.jpgKull et al 2013 Melting pots first page2014-05-09T00:23:25+00:00monthlyhttps://christiankull.net/2013/09/25/kununurra/https://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weedprojectmeeting8.jpgweedprojectmeeting8Team meeting in the motel courtyardhttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weedprojectmeeting7.jpgweedprojectmeeting7Joking under the boabs towards the end of a hot day visiting potential field sitehttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weedprojectmeeting4.jpgweedprojectmeeting4Tom Bach presents at the Mirriwong Language Centrehttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weedprojectmeeting3.jpgweedprojectmeeting3David and Tom discuss an old weedy and prickly friend: 'moorrooloombong' or Acacia farnesianahttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/weedprojectmeeting1.jpgweedprojectmeeting1Discussing the project at the Mirriwong Language Centre2014-05-09T00:23:16+00:00monthlyhttps://christiankull.net/2013/08/31/adat/2014-05-09T00:23:02+00:00monthlyhttps://christiankull.net/2014/04/25/why-we-cant-say-madagascar-is-90-deforested/https://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/scales-2014-book-cover-front-and-back.pngScales 2014 book cover front and backhttps://christiankull.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ig14-small.jpgSlash-and-burn tavy clearing near Andapa, Madagascar © 1994 C.
