The biodiversity committee

The independent biodiversity committee
Formed in 2001, the committee comprises biodiversity experts from various fields with of longstanding experience and globally renowned research credentials in Madagascar. The committee meets bi-annually.

Key advice
The committee advised us early on to create conservation zones within each patch of littoral forest. The zones function as reservoirs of biodiversity that would otherwise be lost during the mine operation. Our plan is for the zones to act as nuclei for the rehabilitation of indigenous littoral forest once mining has finished.
