The Madagascar project is spread between a terrestrial site in the Mahamavo forest and the marine site in Nosy Be, both in the northern part of this incredibly biodiverse country. The terrestrial projects focus on biodiversity assessment for a number of species: herpetofauna, chameleons and frogs, crocodiles through boat surveys, lemurs, and bird species. The marine site uses a stereo-video survey technique to look at general reef health, although, like all Opwall marine sites, volunteers can also learn to dive there. Operation Wallacea is a research and environmental organization working alongside university and college academics to build long-term data sets to put toward various conservation management goals. We recruit volunteers to help out with the data collection, training them in the skills and background needed to help effectively. There's also the option to complete dissertations or senior theses at our sites.

Madagascar is an island located around 400 kilometres off the coast of East Africa. It's known for its unique flora and fauna, including iconic lemurs and baobab trees, as well as its diverse landscapes. Alongside incredible wildlife and scenery, the island offers plenty of outdoor adventures like hiking and watersports. Despite a growing tourism industry, Madagascar remains one of the poorest countries in the world. We work directly with local communities, placing volunteers in sustainable and impactful overseas projects. Volunteer with IVI to experience authentic, affordable, and life-changing programs in Madagascar. With over 35 years of experience as a charity and non-profit organization, we’re passionate about helping those less fortunate and creating meaningful change through responsible volunteering.
