A true Malagasy inhabitant

Lemurs are very cool. And they don't exist anywhere else but in Madagascar and the Comoros. Since the arrival of humans 2000 years ago, Madagascar has lost about 90% of its original forest. No wonder most lemurs are endangered and some species have already gone extinct!

WWF MWIOPO protects primary forest and therefore lemur habitat. We love lemurs, but we also care for the people. Our goal is to make sure people live in harmony with their environment.

Vintsy for a better future

"Biologist Dr. Hanta Rasamimanana was watching a schoolteacher in a class in Berenty.  Hanta asked the children, "Who is responsible for conservation in this region?"  Many hands shot up, to answer "WWF!"  The teacher agreed, "Yes, WWF.  We should not kill animals, because WWF would cry."

"Vintsy" is an ecology-oriented magazine produced to students from secondary schools that are between 12 and 18 years old. The magazine has a large readership among the general population, including parents, adults, scientists and mainly teachers. Each publication, written in Malagasy and French is also used by teachers as a pedagogical and didactic complement.
