Madagascar Birding Association

Founded in June 2019, the Madagascar Birding Association (MBA) was established by a group of passionate Malagasy scientists—including ornithologists, entomologists, and expert birders—who share a common goal: to actively participate in the protection of the birds of Madagascar. We are a local association dedicated to: Promoting the preservation of Madagascar’s birds through education and public awareness. Encouraging the public to love and protect birds as an essential part of the ecosystem. Reinforcing the competencies of conservation stakeholders, including researchers, local communities, and students. Highlighting the ecological, social, and economic importance of birds in Madagascar’s environment. Promoting ecotourism as a sustainable way to generate income for communities and secure funding for conservation initiatives. By reaching the grassroots level with knowledge, we aim to build a more effective and inclusive conservation movement across Madagascar.
