MADAGASCAR / Frontier
Madagascar has been isolated for over 165 million years, creating a biodiversity resource of global significance, with over 80% of species found nowhere else on earth, including leaping Sifaka Lemurs, Lesser Mouse Lemurs or even the elusive Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur. Reptiles include tortoises, snakes, iguanas, and a vast array of chameleons, including both the smallest and largest in the world. The variety of life is reflected in the strong cultural heritage of the Malagasy people, contributing to the island’s name as “Island of the Ancestors” with their belief in the power of the dead to protect and guide the living.
Frontier runs a variety of conservation and community volunteering and internship projects in Madagascar. You can help preserve the country’s unique species or offer your energy to help give underprivileged young people better chances in life.
