Mangrove Forest Conservation

Program description
In this exciting program participants will be involved in important work to maintain and preserve Madagascar’s wildlife heritage through mangrove conservation. ESPACE ZENY is a cultural and ecotourism site just a 10 minutes drive from HELL-VILLE and 20 minutes walk thereafter. This site is bordered by a mangrove forest and consists of a center dedicated to train youth – from rural communities in Nosy Be and from the mainland – about professional organic farming. As a conservation participant, you will first learn about the mangrove forest in Nosy Be, its richness, uses and threats. You will first work on designing an environmental teaching manual for children.
