Conservation Internship in Southern Madagascar

Pays d’action: Madagascar, Afrique
Type d’activité: Ecovolontariat
This international internship in southeast Madagascar offers students practical experience in community-led conservation and sustainable development. Interns apply academic knowledge in areas such as biodiversity, livelihoods, education, and climate resilience while gaining field-based skills in research, project management, and cross-cultural collaboration.



Description du projet et du rôle des volontaires

This field placement in southeast Madagascar gives participants practical experience in conservation research and community development in the Anosy region, including the coastal forests and wetlands of Sainte Luce. Participants join a long-running grassroots programme that has worked with local communities for more than 20 years.

Students take part in:

  • Herpetofauna long-term monitoring surveys
  • Nocturnal lemur monitoring surveys
  • Varika monitoring surveys
  • Flying fox population counts
  • Surveys in the Ala wildlife corridors
  • Environmental education and school outreach sessions

The data collected helps support conservation work in a region facing environmental challenges such as mining. It also helps provide information for local communities, businesses and government organisations.

The placement combines practical fieldwork to develop skills in species identification, ecological survey methods, data collection, project work and community engagement. Participants work in remote forest areas with basic facilities and take part in physically demanding activities, including long walks and camping.

The programme encourages teamwork, cultural understanding, ethical practice and responsible behaviour.

There are four programme periods each year (January, April, July and September), usually lasting 4–8 weeks, with opportunities for longer stays. Although this is not a formal internship, it can be completed as a self-funded academic placement. Master’s students may also be able to connect the placement to dissertation research or professional development, depending on their university requirements.
