An insect approach to sustaining humans and habitats
Welcome to the Madagascar Biodiversity Center, a Malagasy NGO based in the capital Antananarivo. The Center opened in 2006 and grew out of a passion to document the spectacular diversity of insects on Madagascar. From the local people we encountered on our expeditions across the country, we learned that forest protection isn’t possible when those living nearby are hungry.
At MBC we focus our science to develop innovations and tools to reverse this downward spiral of increasing malnutrition and to stem forest loss. At the core of all our research in biodiversity and food security, is the training and mentoring of future Malagasy scientists.
We invite you to learn more about the leadership training at MBC, our efforts to measure biodiversity, and our insect fortified food innovations for the nutrition of people, animals, and plants.
