Let's learn about where our volunteers @CoralChell and @LynneVenart will be traveling in Madagascar, and where they'll bring our education kits!

First is Ankarafantsika National Park, where Coral is studying coquerel's sifakas for her PhD.

@CoralChell @LynneVenart @PlanetMada @EyesWorldFilms @SEEDMadagascar Can you help Coral and Lynne share our lemur education kits with all of these organizations in Madagascar? Any donation — big or small — will go a long way! Thank you!

Good news from the field! 📣

2023 #WhitleyAward winner Mamy Razafitsalama and his @PlanetMada team have started work on their project, clearing 16km of land to create fire breaks - gaps in vegetation that act as a barrier to slow or stop the progress of forest fires.

[Whitley Fund for Nature @WhitleyAwards]

Extreme heat and dry conditions fuel widespread wildfires around the world - in Madagascar, 95% of fires are caused by humans.

2023 @WhitleyAwards winner Mamy Razafitsalama (@PlanetMada) is featured in @ForbesScience for his work with local people to save the forests & lemurs.
