The protected area of Andrafiamena Andavakoera is recognized as one of the places where biodiversity is the richest. Unfortunately, conservation is confronted daily with illegal mining, especially in the Betsiaka region. Artisanal gold mining on a small scale is considered as the primary problem for conservation. Thus, conservation work is becoming increasingly difficult as intrusions into protected areas multiply. Thanks to the community patrols organized with Fanamby, which have been intensified considerably, alerts about incursions by miners into the Analamosary core protected area were received in time and allowed for rapid intervention. Similarly, the visit of the Minister in charge of the Environment with regional representatives on site raised the awareness of the mining operators. The will of the State to stop all attempts at illegal exploitation was clear to bring them to the negotiating table. A workshop was organized and was able to support the government's decision to strengthen the application of the law regarding protected areas. To this end, a federation of miners was created, with 100 operators, whose first request was to find a common ground between their exploitation and the conservation work of Fanamby. The objective of the implementation of the management zone is to have a traceable and environmentally friendly gold corridor within the harmonious protected landscape.

For the communities, their activities and operations will be more closely monitored and their responsibilities in terms of environmental obligations will be highlighted, even outside of the protected area. For the State, the various taxes and mining royalties generated by the operations will be paid directly to the corresponding parties (the rural commune of Betsiaka, the Malagasy State). The perceptible advantage is the effective involvement of the State in the exploitation of mining resources. Any exploitation action will be subject to validation from the ministry of environment, followed by a ministerial decree at the level of the Ministry of Mines. An environmental impact study validated by the National Office for the Environment, followed by an environmental specification, will also be mandatory for business operators.
