Ecotourism

Our ecotourism project has been running since 2000 in what is now the Mandena conservation zone. All profit goes to community projects and most of the employees are local people. The site is co-managed by its neighbouring communities, the Malagasy Government’s Environment, Water and Forest departments and QMM.

A series of trails lead visitors through outstanding biodiversity, much of which is endemic, and to Mandena’s ecological research centre, which is open to the public.

Outstanding biodiversity
Further ecotourism projects are being developed in the Ste Luce conservation zone, where 747 hectares has been set aside from the mining area.
