a b s t r a c tThe multipurpose tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) tree is important for people's livelihood and considered as sacred in the Mahafaly region of south-western Madagascar. However, the ongoing overexploitation of this species has caused a decline of tamarind trees. In this study, the species distribution, changes in tamarind biomass and the role of traditional taboos for the conservation of this species were determined to identify opportunities and constraints for its conservation and appropriate land management planning. Semistructured interviews (N = 63) were conducted in 10 villages in the study region to obtain information regarding the utilization of tamarind trees. During field surveys, the diameter at breast height (DBH), height, wood volume and wood biomass were measured for already felled trees (N = 25). Additionally, 318 trees were inventoried by measuring their DBH, height and GPS location. Using high resolution satellite images from 2004/2005 and 2012 the crown areas of all tamarind trees in six village areas were identified. Allometric equations were established to predict their wood biomass from DBH, crown surface and wood volume. Tamarind trees are mainly used as supplementary food, as well as for traditional ceremonies, charcoal production and medicinal purposes. Altogether, 0.06-0.35 trees ha −1 were observed. A regression analysis yielded high coefficients of determination for the relationships between DBH and wood biomass (r 2 = 0.98), DBH and crown area (r 2 = 0.72), and crown area and wood biomass (r 2 = 0.71). From 2004/2005 to 2012, wood biomass losses of 12%-90% were caused by charcoal production and slash and burn agriculture. The traditionally sacred status of the tree has become insufficient to secure its conservation in the Mahafaly region.

“…Different authors (F. Gannon, F.Sandron, 2003) see in fihavanana the quality of regulator of the social relations. Considered conservative of this Malagasy cultural value, the community of Ambarobekibo still weaves some tangible social connection because community solidarity is still palpable in various fields both from the economic point of view and from the social point of view (F. Gannon, F. Sandron, 2006). The principle of mutual support and regulation of the social relationship of the fihavanana is still maintained.…”

This article analyzes the role of social links on a community resilience and development, the study is presenting the rural community of Ambaro-Bekibo in southeastern coast of Madagascar. From the literature perspective, a resilient community is capable to organize itself so as to be able to overcome the various hazards or disasters which could strike, and then to continue to sustain and improve its daily life as well as its environment by weaving social tie and by focusing more on solidarity.

“…Rares sont les agriculteurs d'Ampitatafika qui déclarent avoir reçu une formation ou une aide technique en matière agricole : moins de 10 % ont reçu l'année précédant l'enquête la visite d'un technicien et seuls 16 % ont pu suivre une formation agricole depuis le début de leur activité. Gannon et Sandron (2006) Relation, population et environnement à Madagascar 20. Un résultat intéressant est que les pratiques des paysans sont en général similaires sur toutes les parcelles de même nature (bas-fonds vs plaine).…”
