SEED Madagascar: Volunteer and internship placements

The programme is based in the beautiful coastal region of Sainte Luce which is surrounded by extremely rare and threatened fragments of littoral (coastal) forest. It integrates practical hands-on conservation research on endangered flora and fauna, in particular lemurs, reptiles and amphibians, with community initiatives and environmental education; building the understanding of the community about the complex habitats of which they are the stewards. The programme consists of two core modules:

Lemur and Biodiversity Research
Community Conservation

Volunteers can join the programme for 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 weeks.

Volunteers will gain practical skills and vocational experience which are invaluable for anyone studying biology or conservation or looking to pursue a career in these areas, or anyone looking for a change of pace as part of a sabbatical, career break, or gap year.

Organization details

Supporting some of the world's most vulnerable people and most threatened and irreplaceable environments, Azafady runs a wide range of projects in the Anosy region of southeast Madagascar.
