The dense tropical forest of Nosy Komba is home to many of the iconic wildlife species that Madagascar is renowned for and offers a unique environment for volunteers to assist in monitoring the native forest and endemic wildlife on the island.

Forest conservation in Madagascar
by: Jenten - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer in Forest Conservation in MadagascarI was looking for a reliable organisation to volunteer with, and came across IVHQ, who set me up with MRCI and it was the best time of my life! First off: the food was awesome (rice, veggies, sometimes pasta or noodles, zebu, chicken, fish), the local staff were superb, the huts were spacious and clean, camp was really nicely laid out (we even had fancy western toilets and showers!) - I was very comfortable living there. I did forest conservation on the island Nosy Komba: we did lemur studies...
