Let’s Make Madagascar Green Again! At the weekend we planted 380 Eucalyptus saplings in Sakaraha as part of a fantastic larger scale #reforestation initiative by Ministère de l'Environnement et du Développement Durable, UNDP & Madagascar National Parks. #Madagascar #deforestation

We would like to thank @fanainga for providing management training to the #mangrove #fishfarming association FIMPIFIMAHO. This training will help the association become more self-reliant & increase the #sustainability of fish farming as an alternative livelihood. #Madagascar

Earlier this month we held a mangrove #reforestation event for our Malagasy team members to celebrate #worldwetlandsday. They planted 2500 propagules. As well restoring degraded mangrove habitat, it was a great team building exercise! #Madagascar #Mangroves

RD Kids Club visit to our #mangrove project site last week. As well as an eco-tour they were shown how to plant mangrove propagules for habitat restoration. They really enjoyed their fieldtrip, a great way to engage future generations in mangrove #conservation! #Madagascar

Our local #mangrove guides trained 10 guides from national tour operators in mangrove ecology last week. These guides then brought 90 tourists to visit the mangroves - a significant financial boost for the community-led mangrove management association! #Madagascar #conservation

Our community #wastemanagement programme has received funding from the Australian High Commission Direct Aid Program! Last week we were visited by HE Ms Jenny Dee @AusHC_MU to discuss the project & a new #womenempowerment initiative #Madagascar #marinelitter #recycling #plastic

Beach disposal of batteries in Ifaty #Madagascar is a significant marine hazard due to the release of toxic chemicals. We are addressing this through through beach cleans & our new community #wastemanagement project bit.ly/2SgRwW6 #marinelitter

We have been busy conducting monitoring of the reforested #mangrove area in Ambondrolava SW #Madagascar. Survey has revealed encouraging growth rates. Our replanting efforts continue with the planting of 1092 mangroves on 20th of November. #reforestation #bluecarbon
