The main images from the

Madagascar Biodiversity and Conservation Exhibit

Each of the 55 photograph panels consists of a main print, a general caption and a boxed detail caption. Most of the captions include one or two 4"x 6" photographs. A small map on each caption sheet shows where the photo(s) were taken.
