Check out the latest video produced by the SWM Programme Madagascar site.
This video showcases the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme's efforts to diversify protein sources as alternatives to wild meat, focusing on insect farming in Madagascar. Specifically, it highlights the farming of sakondry—a nutritious and sustainable protein source. This innovative practice not only meets human nutritional needs but also helps reduce hunting pressure on Madagascar’s endangered and unique primates, such as lemurs. By reviving local traditions, this approach bridges human needs with conservation goals, contributing to the preservation of Madagascar’s exceptional biodiversity.
