About Program
Our Forest Conservation volunteer program in Madagascar consists of constant monitoring of the forest and its surroundings on Nosy Komba.
We assess the biodiversity of several species (including lemurs, birds, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians, as well as some insects) using various survey techniques.
Our surveys include weekly night walks to monitor the nocturnal reptile population. As there are no roads on the island and paths are often steep and unclear, a decent level of fitness is required to reach the survey sites.
