Great Adventuresl Biography
Volunteer expeditions in Madagascar
Blue Ventures' research and conservation projects are carried out by our volunteers, who work closely with our research scientists and Expedition staff.
Every 6 weeks a new team of volunteers arrives at the field site, ensuring year-round sustainability of our research in the region. We have, on average, 12 volunteers working at the camp, and we never have more than 3 volunteers working with each staff member.
In addition to volunteers, the camp comprises of Malagasy and international research scientists, as well as local and international Blue Ventures staff.
Our research in Madagascar aims to identify ways in which coastal communities can live sustainably within their environment. Through a combination of conservation and livelihood programmes, from marine reserves to sea cucumber farming to English teaching, we work to find ways in which the environment, biodiversity and life of the coastal communities in Madagascar can be safeguarded for the future.
The threats to the people and natural environment of southwest Madagascar are huge, ranging from climate change to overfishing, from deforestation to a lack of safe water to drink. Through a number of integrated programmes Blue Ventures seeks to address these threats not only to the environment, but also its population and their health.
