Madagascar’s Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development hosted a national workshop in Antananarivo, bringing together various stakeholders from government, civil society, NGOs, and Indigenous Peoples and local communities. The event marked the official launch of Madagascar’s NBSAP revision process, in line with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Highlights of the workshop included the identification of stakeholder needs for biodiversity conservation, as well as the formation of working groups to update the strategy.
Another key moment of the workshop was the presentation of Madagascar’s national biodiversity platform. The science-policy-practice interface will aim to facilitate the country’s major biodiversity conservation projects by bringing together experts to implement its NBSAP. As a multi-stakeholder structure, it will coordinate interventions and centralise information, promoting a comprehensive cross-sectoral approach.
