Analamazaotra Forest Station ( Parc Mitsinjo ) is a protected area in Madagascar , which is connected to the Analamazoatra Reserve and the Andasibe-Mantadia National Park and administered by a local community. It is located in the Alaotra-Mangoro region in the east-central part of the island. The reserve consists of 710 hectares of rainforest and renatured habitats. It is managed on the basis of a contract between the local community-run Mitsinjo organization and the Ministry of Water and Forests . Much of the Forest Station consists of reforested forest that has been regenerated by a Habitat Restoration Project . David Attenborough filmed the documentary series Madagascar on the reservation for the BBC in 2011 , including a scene in which a family of striped ducks cross a stream.
