AEECL conducts community-based conservation in the Sahamalaza Peninsula in northwest Madagascar, including fire prevention, education, reforestation, and capacity building for ecotourism. We develop sustainable tourism and run an ecolodge near Masoala National Park, where we support the community school and conduct reforestation to support northern bamboo lemurs. Ary Saina is a group of Malagasy conservation biologists conducting scientific research and working with communities in the Ihofa Forest and Ranomafana National Park. Association Mitsinjo was created in 1999 by the residents of Andasibe village, and manages the forest station at Analamazoatra Special Reserve. Association Tantelygasy supports the protection and reforestation of the forest of central Madagascar near Ambositra. Their innovative programming includes eco-tourism, beekeeping, and promoting the development of local handicrafts. Bristol Zoological Society works in the Sahamalaza peninsula of northwestern Madagascar to protect the remaining populations of the critically endangered blue-eyed black lemur and Sahamalaza sportive lemur. ICTE and Centre ValBio focus the world’s attention on Madagascar’s lemur crisis through targeted research, conservation, and capacity building. Their research station at the edge of Ranomafana National Park enables long term research and collaboration with the local community. Chances for Nature works with local communities to sustain natural resources through outreach, education and capacity building in small villages in rural Madagascar. Conservation Fusion conducts education programs with communities in northern (Antsiranana), eastern (Alamazaotra and Kianjavato), and southern Madagascar (Lavavolo). The Duke Lemur Center (DLC) advances science through interdisciplinary research on lemurs at its living laboratory in North Carolina. The DLC SAVA Conservation project conducts conservation through environmental education, community development, and research in northeast Madagascar. The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (DWCT) has been conducting conservation in Madagascar since 1983. The American Friends of Durrell support the Alison Jolly Madagascar Scholarship and cover the core costs of all of Durrell’s projects in Madagascar, including those in Lake Alaotra. ExplorerHome makes science accessible for the public and scientists. It aims to inspire, nourish curiosity in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, and increase STEM literacy in Madagascar. With nearly 200 Malagasy members, including scientists and primatologists, GERP works with local communities to conserve lemurs and manages the Maromizaha forest in eastern Madagascar. Through the combination of rainforest restoration, scientific study, and hands-on education, we help rural Malagasy farmers make Madagascar “green again.” Halt Poverty Madagascar empowers the people of Madagascar through sustainable development focused on eco-tourism, including locally managed eco-clubs and tour guide training.
