_______________


On the coast of Androy, region most in the South of Madagascar, dunes invade beaches and big surfaces of arables and pasture disappear day after day. The climatic conditions rarely authorize the fishermen to go fishing.
The worst? There is no water. The bucket of water costs 100 Ar when the system of adduction, fruit of the cooperation between the Malagasy and Japanese governments, works. Otherwise, the inhabitants have to walk 30km to stock up.
So all the village feeds on "raketa mena", a red cactus of the charming scientific name of Opuntia stricta. This invasive cactus has dried all the lands... and who cares ?
