%X Despite protection measures, dense humid forests in Madagascar are being reduced to forest fragments. The actual process of fragmentation is not taken into account in monitoring studies of deforestation, as these focus on comparing remotely sensed forest cover between several dates. The question addressed in this study is how forest fragmentation is perceived by adjacent populations, so as to involve them in conservation and restoration. Ethnobotanical interviews were conducted in two contrasting communities in eastern Madagascar, the Ranomafana East community in the north (Antsiranana region) with small fragments and the Androy community in the south (upper Matsiatra region) with extensive forest stands, to gather villagers' perceptions of the state of their forests, their evolution and fragmentation, their plant and animal biodiversity, their resources and the protection measures needed locally. The differences between answers brought out the impacts of contexts and levels of fragmentation, very different perceptions of residual forests and past dynamics, different uses and orders of importance (wood for house building comes first), particular attention to animal biodiversity, and proposals for conservation mainly influenced by NGO projects. Complementary approaches are needed to build up a common view of forest fragmentation.
