A tree planting
action, Malagasy style, means: about 50 people and a gigantic sound system, as
well as some young trees of course, are transported to the area that is to be
reforested. What follows are about 5 hours of dancing, karaoke and children’s
games, framing about 1 hour of tree planting. Not that I mind, it is too hot to
do too much serious work anyway. I guess I just need to still adapt to the
“moramora” way of doing things. I am highly motivated to do useful conservation
work, and can’t wait to start. That, together with being conditioned for
efficiency over years, makes me tap my fingers on the (imaginary) table. I will
adapt to moramora quickly enough, I’m sure. It’s either that, or constant
irritation about the Malagasy speed of life. I’d choose the sooner.
