'''Farankaraina Tropical Park, or Parc Tropical de Farankaraina, is located on the [[Masoala]] peninsula in the Antongil Bay, in the north east of Madagascar. The park covers an area of 1,650ha forest and is home of the [[Aye-aye]], Madagascar's rarest lemur species.'''

The humid tropical Farankaraina forest is located 15 kilometres east of [[Maroantsetra]]. The park area consists of an old forestry station (150ha) and 1500ha forest. In 2006, the Ministry of Environment passed the management of the park over to ''Antongil Conservation'', a NGO set up by South Lakes Wild Animal Park (UK), The Wildlife Protection Foundation (UK) and Zoo de Doué (France). The goal of Antongil Conservation is to conserve the rich nature of the forest, develop ecotourism and to create alternative farming methods and income for the villagers.
