It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the deeply saddening and unfortunate news that a former volunteer has passed away. Hannah was a volunteer with MRCI for 10 weeks in 2019. She started off by doing Marine Conservation, and then moved onto Community Development and English Teaching. She was so very loved by everyone, volunteers and local staff alike. Hannah brightened up camp and was always full of light and happiness.She will be terribly missed by all. We send our condolences to her friends and family. A special thanks to Ellie Raven Hall for reaching out and for getting in touch with us. Go fund me link for Hannah’s funeral: bit.ly/3sp1TYv ... See MoreSee Less

"An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment"- Sir David Attenborough Did you know that Seahorses are in fact fish? They are also the slowest moving fish species because their only way to propel themselves forward is with the help of the tiny fin that is located in the middle of their backs. Check out our Volunteer Marine Conservation Program if you're interested in making a positive impact on the marine environment in Madagascar.www.madagascarvolunteer.com/volunteer-marine-conservation/BTW, we also facilitate students who need to do research papers and field work.

Media focus on the pandemic has been actively covering first world countries but not as much has been said about African countries like Madagascar. It has been seemingly forgotten and left to face the problem on its own.Read More about how MRCI is at the Frontier of the Pandemic in Madagascar in our latest blogpost: www.madagascarvolunteer.com/mrci-at-the-frontier-of-the-pandemic/#madagascarvolunteer #Frontier #globalpandemic ...

👏 👏👏Two Antsiranana students have been praised for their invention of an environmental protection drone. Holitiana Anja Joharivololona and Tsoarana Rasolonjatovo's creation is intended for the control and surveillance of protected areas, which are often difficult to access overland. The fully automated patrolling drone is monitored from a ground control station and the data it collects can be used in real time or stored for later analysis.Produced as a project for a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering (for which it received an impressive 98% mark), the flying device is reminiscent of military drones and those used to monitor bush fires, poaching and illegal logging around the world. The prototype can carry a 1.5kg payload and meets all the mandatory regulations in the field of model aircraft and civil aviation.Holitiana and Tsoarana have demonstrated not only their impressive technological skills but also the interest of the Malagasy youth in preservation of the environment.More information [in French]: www.tanaplanete.mg/11581_deux-etudiants-dantsiranana-fabriquent-un-drone/ ...
