Our philosophy:
Natural ecosystems and their biodiversity are increasingly threatened in our modern world, yet attempts to conserve them often fail when they don't include: (1) the will and needs of local people, and (2) a true understanding of ecosystem components and function.
We recognize that human health & development depends on natural ecosystems, while the conservation of biodiversity depends on human decisions. We have a chance to preserve biodiversity while promoting sustainable development, if we remember these interdependencies.
We seek to develop novel and innovative ways to promote the coexistence of people and wildlife at Tsinjoarivo, and elsewhere where humans and wildlife come into conflict.
