I did an interview with one of the taxonomists that described these species, Dr. Mark Scherz, if you would like to hear from one of the scientists talk about the effort

There is no secret here. I aspire to manage or participate in African/Madagascar forest and species restoration in Africa and the African Island Madagascar. Right now they are looking to be extra credit programs though.
