Following the devastating impacts of Cyclone Fytia earlier this year, recovery efforts at our Namoroka field camp are moving forward thanks to the incredible dedication and resilience of our team and community partners.
One of our first priorities has been rebuilding and strengthening the foundation for long-term sustainability at the site. In our nursery, we have now completed the construction of three germination beds and two planting beds, helping us continue habitat restoration and future planting efforts in the region. Our community gardens are also thriving once again, with onions, carrots, zucchinis, leeks, eggplants, lettuce, chives, cabbages, and peppers now under cultivation. We are especially encouraged by the success of our composting initiative, which has already proven highly effective. Because of this progress, we are now planning the creation of eight additional compost pits to further support sustainable food production and soil enrichment.
At the camp itself, major reconstruction efforts are underway. We have focused first on building tent shelters, along with a house for the guard and secure food storage facilities. Construction of the main field station, toilets, and showers is continuing steadily and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. While there is still much work ahead, these milestones represent an important step forward after an incredibly difficult period.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported Wildlife Madagascar and the Namoroka team during this recovery process. Together, we continue rebuilding stronger than before.
