General
La soie est une matière utilisée par les Malgaches depuis bien avant la colonisation. Cette soie est fabriquée à partir de la collecte de cocons des papillons du genre Borocera spp., ver à soie sauvage. On connaît une dizaine d'espèces de vers à soie sauvages endémiques à Madagascar. Ces lépidoptères polyphages se nourrissent surtout des feuilles de Uapaca bojeri et d'autres types de plantes telles que Dodonea madagascariensis et Psidium guyava.
Results
La conservation de ces espèces de vers à soie endémiques en milieu forestier est actuellement menacée. En effet, l'un des problèmes environnementaux majeurs à Madagascar est la déforestation. Les communautés locales utilisent du charbon de bois pour cuisiner et pour se réchauffer ; de plus, les paysans cultivent en "tanety" (en terre brûlée) ; ce type de mise en culture ancestrale est encore très présent chez les malgaches. Il est donc très difficile de leur faire changer leurs habitudes, même s'ils savent qu'ils mettent en danger leur environnement immédiat.
