The Hempel Foundation’s second major initiative in Madagascar is a long-term professional training programme. The project aims to train a new generation of experts in protected areas and biodiversity, and to play a central role in capitalising on local know-how and broadening knowledge. Malagasy expertise exists, but needs to be strengthened to improve the impact of biodiversity conservation. This project will fill the current training gap to improve the management of Madagascar’s protected areas.
The training programme is therefore aimed at protected area managers, rangers, community liaison officers, students, young professionals and decision-makers. Learning modules will cover topics such as community participation, financial sustainability, strategic management and environmental sustainability.
By helping to build local capacity in this way, the Hempel Foundation is investing in Madagascan expertise and ensuring the sustainability of conservation efforts.
This second project is currently being implemented.
