Join us for a unique opportunity to explore Madagascar's remarkable ecosystem and encounter its iconic wildlife. The forest conservation program on Nosy Komba, also known as 'Lemur Island,' encompasses various conservation efforts to protect the surrounding forest and its diverse wildlife through active restoration and sustainable practices.
Through regular monitoring, we study the diversity and abundance of species within the forest, tracking changes in dynamics, populations, and habitat health. This data is essential in identifying potential threats and developing targeted conservation strategies.
We work in collaboration with the National Parks Department of Madagascar and volunteers assist in assessing lemur and other species populations in the forests on Nosy Komba and at the renowned Lokobe Forest Reserve on Nosy Be. Data collected is provided to the National Parks.
Volunteers help protect the Sambirano forests, care for endangered animals, and restore habitats. As a result, participants gain real-world experience through field research, wildlife monitoring, reforestation work, invasive species removal, and habitat restoration.
The forest conservation program contributes significantly to the protection and preservation of the highly threatened Sambirano forests in Northwest Madagascar. Together, we strive to ensure the long-term sustainability of this invaluable ecosystem and its precious wildlife.
