The Details

Empowering youth through ecotourism and mangrove conservation

In Tulear, Madagascar, deforestation and coastal exploitation combine with serious social challenges such as poverty, sexual exploitation of young people, and limited access to education.

The project seeks to address these challenges through vocational training in ecotourism and marine biodiversity conservation, targeting a group of girls who will promote their learning and knowledge in the community.

The project will focus on the reforestation of a protected mangrove area, carrying out a scientific conservation study by scientists specialised in marine biology and blue carbon and involving the vocational training students. It also includes raising awareness among students and adults through the creation of educational material (such as exhibitions and a mobile cinema) and the setting up of an ocean museum. Learning spaces will be set up and young people in vulnerable situations will be trained in ecotourism, agro-economic professions, and enabled the conservation of a mangrove forest.
