🌍 Andro iraisam-pirenena ho an’ny zava-mananaina 2026, ny mpianatra ao amin’ny sekoly Ampombilava dia nanentana ny olona ifotony hiaro ireo zava-mananaina.

🏫 Ny fanabeazana ara-tontolo iainana eny an-tsekoly dia fomba iray mahomby ahafahan’ny mponina eny ifotony mahafantatra bebe kokoa ny maha-zava-dehibe ny fahasamihafan’ny zavamananaina sy ireo tontolo iainana manodidina azy.

📅 Isaky ny 22 Mey dia ankalazaina maneran-tany ny Andro Iraisam-pirenena ho an’ny Fahasamihafan’ny Zavamananaina. Amin’izany fotoana izany dia milaza ny Firenena Mikambana fa: “Ny andro iraisam-pirenena tsirairay dia fotoana iray hampahafantarana ny vahoaka momba ireo olana lehibe atrehin’izao tontolo izao. Ireo andro ireo dia manome sehatra ho an’ny fitondram-panjakana sy ny fiarahamonim-pirenena hanao hetsika fanentanana sy hanangonana loharanon-karena.”.

📖 Ho fanamarihana izany, ny mpianatra ara-tontolo iainana ao amin’ny EPP Ampombilava dia nikarakara hetsika fanentanana ho fankalazana io andro io ho an’ny taona 2026. Anisan’ny taranja ampianarina ao amin’ny fandaharam-pianaran’izy ireo mantsy izany asa fanentanana izany.

📍Toerana roa manodidina ny Alan’Ankarafantsika no nanaovana ny hetsika : Tanàna Ambikakely sy Ampombilava. Ny hetsika dia nokarakarain’ny ekipan’i Kew Madagascar, tamin’ny alalan’ny tetikasa “Weston Global Tree Seed Bank”: Unlocked, ireo mpianatra ao amin’ny kilasy fanabeazana ara-tontolo iainana ary ireo mpampianatra edtompon’andraikitra.

Nanome voninahitra nandritry ny hetsika ny “Chef de Volet Opérations” (CVOP) Madagascar National Parks, ireo mpiara-miombon’antoka eo an-toerana dia ny Durrell, Association FOSA, ONG Planète Madagascar, Scoute Antilin’i Madagascar, ary ny Fikambanana RIR.

📣 Ireto avy ireo hafatra lehibe nampitaina tamin’ny mponina:

• 🔥 “Izay mandoro ala dia mandoro firenena; noho izany dia tokony samy hitandrina amin’ny afo ny rehetra.”
• 🚯 “Tsy tokony hariana etsy sy eroa ny fako plastika ary tokony hahay hanasokajy fako ny tsirairay.”
• 🌱 “Tokony hamboly hazo isan-taona ny rehetra mba hiantohana ny faharetan’ny ala sy ny fiarovana ireo biby miaina ao anaty ala.”
• 🏹 “Tsy tokony hihaza satria namantsika ny biby ka tokony ho arovana.”
• 🪓 “Voarara ny fitrandrahana ala, na raha atao dia tokony ho voafantina sy voafehy tsara mba hiarovana ny harena voajanahary sy ny fahasamihafan’ny zavamananaina.”

Ho ampy ve ireo hafatra nampitaina mba hamporisihana ny tsirairay hiaro ny zava-mananaina eto amintsika?

🌍 International Day for Biological Diversity 2026: Ampombilava Students Raise Awareness Among Local Communities About Biodiversity Conservation

🏫 Environmental education in schools is an effective way to help local communities better understand the importance of biological diversity and the ecosystems that surround them.

📅 Every year on 22 May, the world celebrates the International Day for Biological Diversity. On this occasion, the United Nations states: “Each international day represents an opportunity to inform the general public about issues of major concern. These observances provide opportunities for governments and civil society to raise awareness and mobilize resources.”

đź“– In this context, the Environmental Education Class of EPP Ampombilava organized an awareness-raising event to celebrate this day in 2026. Environmental awareness is also one of the subjects included in the school curriculum.

📍Two villages located around the Ankarafantsika Forest were targeted for this activity: Ambikakely and Ampombilava. The event was organized by the Kew Madagascar team, from “Weston Global Tree Seed Bank”: Unlocked project, the students of the Environmental Education Class, and their teachers.

The celebration was honoured by the presence of the Head of Operations (CHEVOP) of Madagascar National Parks, as well as local partners including Durrell, FOSA Association, Planète Madagascar NGO, Scoute Antilin’i Madagascar, and the RIR Association.

📣 Several key messages were shared with the communities:
• 🔥 “Whoever burns the forest burns the nation; everyone must be vigilant about wildfires.”
• 🚯 “Plastic waste should not be discarded indiscriminately, and everyone should learn how to sort and manage waste properly.”
• 🌱 “Everyone should plant trees every year to ensure the long-term survival of forests and the protection of wildlife within the ecosystem.”
• 🏹 “Hunting should be avoided because animals are our friends and must be protected.”
• 🪓 “Forest exploitation is prohibited or should be carried out selectively in order to safeguard our biodiversity.”

Will the messages we shared be enough to encourage everyone to protect our biodiversity?

At the end of April, Kew Madagascar’s Millennium Seed Bank Partnership team, together with colleagues from Silo National des Graines Forestières, became the first team in Madagascar to complete train-the-trainer training in seed conservation techniques.

Hosted at Feon’ny Ala in Andasibe, the week brought together colleagues from Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst in the UK, and from FORIG in Ghana to explore training theory with our team in Madagascar, and develop skills in delivering effective learning in the classroom, the field, and the lab.

This marks an exciting step forward in our shared vision to provide high-quality seed conservation training for organisations working in conservation and restoration across Madagascar. We look forward to sharing these new skills and supporting even more people working to protect and restore Madagascar’s unique biodiversity.

Fametrahana ny FIFANARAHAM-PITANTANANA IOMBONANA AMIN’NY FOKONOLONA (CGC – convention de gestion communautaire) tao amin’ny Faritra Arovana Tangorombohitr’Itremo – Ambatofinandrahana, Faritra Amoron’i Mania.

Ny CGC dia fifanarahana eo amin’ny mpitantana ny faritra arovana sy ny mponina manodidina na/sy anaty ny faritra arovana. Natao izany fifanarahana izany mba handrindrana sy hampaharitra ary hampahomby ny fitantanana ny faritra arovana iray. Mifototra amin’ireo zo sy ireo anjara asa sy andraikitra izay tsy maintsy sahanin’ny mponina eny ifotony sy ny mpitantana ny faritra arovana ny CGC.

Araka ny lalana COAP (code des aires protegees) dia tsy maintsy manana ny CGC ny faritra arovana tsirairay eto Madagasikara. Isan’ny nametrahana azy voalohany ny faritra arovana Tangorombohitr’Itremo ary anatin’ny dingana famaranana azy ny RBG Kew sy ny mponina eny ifotony ankehitriny. Maro ny fivoriana nataon’ny roa tonta nandritry ny fananganana ny CGC izay nahafahan’izy ireo nidinika sy namaritra ireo asa miandry izay hitantanana ny faritra arovana manaraka ny lalana velona.

Ny Ekipan’ny tetik’asa Mitantana ara-Drariny (MIRARI) sy ny Natural Justice no niara-nisalahy tamin’ny fametrahana io CGC io tao Itremo. Izy ireo no nampihofana sy nampianatra ary indrindra nanelanelana ny RBG Kew sy ny solontenan’ny mponina nandritran’ireo dinika rehetra nifanaovan’ny roa tonta. Nampahalalana ny DREDD Amoron’i Mania ny fisian’ny CGC ao Itremo ary isan’ny nofanina tamin’izany ihany koa ireo teknisiana ao aminy

📖 Famoahana boky | Angon-tsary toro-hay momba ny BOZAKA AMAN’AHITRA eto Madagasikara

🔬 Vokatry ny fikarohana naharitra 15 taona mahery, ity boky ity dia manangona fahalalana ara-tsiantifika efa nohamarinina, ary navoaka amin’ny teny Malagasy sy Anglisy, mba hahatonga izany ho mora azon’ny mpikaroka, mpianatra, teknisiana ary vondrom-piarahamonina eny ifotony ampiasaina.

🌱 Manampy amin’ny fahatakarana bebe kokoa ny harena voajanahary miavaka eto Madagasikara ity boky ity, ary manasongadina ny anjara toerana lehibe ananan’ny bozaka aman’ahitra eo amin’ny tontolo iainana sy ny fiainan’ny olona andavanandro.

🤝 Araka ny nasongadin’Atoa Patrick Lynch nandritra ny fanokafana ofisialy, ny bozaka aman’ahitra dia manana anjara toerana lehibe eo amin’ny tontolo iainana, ny fiveloman’ny olona, ary ny fifandraisan’ny fiarahamonina amin’ny manodidina azy.

🇬🇧 Kew Madagascar dia maneho fisaorana feno ho an’ny Masoivohon’ny Fanjakana Britanika eto Madagasikara noho ny fandraisana sy fanohanana ity hetsika ity, ary koa ho an’ireo mpiara-miombon’antoka ara-tsiantifika, ireo andrim-panjakana malagasy, mpaka sary, mpikaroka ary ireo rehetra nandray anjara tamin’ny fanatanterahana ity tetikasa ity.

🌍✨ Ny fahalalana ny zavamaniry no dingana voalohany amin’ny fiarovana azy.

📖 Launching Madagascar’s First Photographic Field Guide to Grasses

Through this new photographic field guide dedicated to the grasses of Madagascar, the teams at Kew Madagascar and their partners are shining a light on a biodiversity that is often overlooked, yet essential to the ecosystems of the island.

🔬 The result of more than 15 years of research, this publication brings together scientifically validated knowledge in both Malagasy and English, helping make this remarkable diversity more accessible to researchers, students, practitioners and local communities.

From mountains such as Ankaratra to lowland areas, every photographed species tells a story of conservation, science and Madagascar’s unique natural heritage.

🤝 As highlighted by H.E. Patrick Lynch during the official launch at the UK Residence, grasses play a fundamental role in landscapes, livelihoods, ecosystem resilience and the daily interactions between communities and their environment.

🇬🇧 Kew Madagascar extends its sincere thanks to the British Embassy in Madagascar for hosting and supporting this initiative, as well as to all scientific partners, Malagasy institutions, photographers, researchers and collaborators who contributed to making this project possible.

🌍✨ Understanding plants is the first step towards protecting them.
