Volunteers and their funds have contributed to the following accomplishments. All volunteer fees are allocated to staff, insurance, camp maintenance, meals, accommodation, fuel, community development, and boat and diving equipment maintenance. 

Construction

• Completion of the construction of a school in the village of Ampohana (November 2023).
• We recently renovated a daycare centre for intellectually disabled children on Nosy Be (March 2023).
• In partnership with Tim Kohlbecher and the Leo Club Charity, we constructed a freshwater well in the village of Ampohana (2019).
• We completed the Ampohana Clinic construction project in November 2018, with a grand opening ceremony attended by government officials which was broadcast nationally.
• Built toilets in Ampadinombe in exchange for 20,000 square meters of forest rehabilitation (August 2017).

Marine

• Our marine conservation team and volunteers have designed, built and implemented a new structure that is now fully populated with over 200 fragments of 4 different genus (2023).
  
• We’ve created artificial reefs, such as “The Parking Lot,” using cars submerged to form these unique underwater ecosystems.
• Another artificial reef, known as “Mad-hatter,” was installed in January 2017.
• Our beach cleanup efforts, conducted during spring tides, encourage all divers to contribute to a cleaner marine environment.
• We’ve established no-fishing zones to protect the house reef in front of Turtle Cove and neighbouring beaches (November 2016).
• Our projects include setting up artificial reef structures (2014) and collaborating with CNRO (Centre Nationale Research Oceanographic) on a biodiversity survey to oppose oil drilling in North Madagascar (2014).

Forest

• We initiated the Bamboo Straw Initiative to produce and distribute bamboo straws as an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic straws.
• An agreement was reached with the village of Ampasinomby to establish a groundbreaking agroforest on Nosy Komba (August 2017).
• Our forest program began Lepidoptera surveys in June 2017.
• We hosted an international researcher studying parasitic wasps, leading to the discovery of new species (June 2015).
• Over the past five years, we’ve discovered 20 species of birds, reptiles, and amphibians not formally known to exist on the island.

• We organized a football tournament with local village teams and a volunteer camp team (January 2017).

Future Goals

We have ambitious plans for the future, including expanding reef surveys, assessing the population of potentially damaging species in the Marine Protected Area, and publishing scientific papers on our achievements. Our goals also include enhancing community awareness of plastic reduction, completing construction projects, and further supporting reforestation efforts.
