Description	The Madagascan tortoise Geochelone yniphora, known locally as the ‘angonoka’, is found only near isolated patches of bamboo forest in the vicinity of Baly Bay in north-western Madagascar. As part of an Oxford University Expedition, and with some help from the Oryx 100% Fund, the author, together with Ian Scoones, Mike Guy and Gilbert Rakotoarisoa, has recently carried out a survey of the area. In this article, he discusses the conservation of this highly endangered animal.
