  abstract = {{G}lobally, the number of protected areas ({PA}s) has increased exponentially during the last 25 years, particularly in biodiversity-rich developing countries. {M}any recent initiatives have integrated local-scale socio-economic development into both design and management. {B}ecause the rates of deforestation and species extinction are increasing in most parts of the world, substantial efforts have been made to build and strengthen local environmental organizations, to establish new protected areas ({NPA}s), and to improve natural resource management. {A}n {NPA} was recently established at {I}bity {M}assif in central {M}adagascar, where a community-based conservation project is being coordinated by the {M}issouri {B}otanical {G}arden ({MBG}). {I}n {D}ecember 2008, a temporary protection order was issued, and definitive establishment of the {NPA}, which falls under {C}ategory {V} of the {IUCN} {PA} system, is expected before the end of 2015. {T}his initiative has involved significant outreach and community education programs to raise awareness of {I}bity's conservation and economic importance and the threats to its biodiversity, along with ongoing efforts to reduce fire frequency and implement ecological restoration projects with significant local community participation. {I}n order to ensure the sustainability of this {NPA}, a co-management plan has been implemented involving {MBG}, local authorities, and the local population. {T}his study describes the diagnostic process undertaken at {I}bity in order to: 1) disseminate the data gathered to inform establishment of the {NPA}; and 2) summarize the initial state of the environment on the massif prior to the implementation of a management plan, as a baseline for assessing the {NPA}'s effectiveness.},
