This small international group trip will be guided by An Bollen, specialist in Tropical Ecology since 2003. Madagascar is her second home and she has insight in the conservation dynamics. This adventure follows the National Road 7 from East to South West across a diversity of landscapes, ecosystems, wildlife, tribes and cultures. You will experience different conservation approaches and get an insight into how a mix of traditional government-managed national parks, community-run reserves, and co-managed marine areas contribute. Not just to safeguard natural heritage but also providing income for local communities.
