SIT Study Abroad: Madagascar: Biodiversity & Natural Resource Management

Explore Madagascar’s rainforests, mangroves, coral reefs, and unique biodiversity, shaped by more than 100 million years of isolation. Recognized as one of the world’s megadiverse countries, the island is home to flora and fauna found nowhere else on earth. Study alongside Malagasy university students, employing social and natural science field techniques in coral reef systems, national parks, and farming and fishing villages. Live with host families, study Malagasy or French, and witness iconic species and landscapes.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
"I spent an incredible fall semester in Madagascar with the SIT program. I received instruction in French and Malagasy and lived with a host family just a 10 minute walk from our program center. We went on a few excursions with the school to do research and learn about different conservation efforts in various areas. These were part of our academics and prepared us to do our own research, as well as gave us a good understanding of the conservation scene in Madagascar. The program culminated in independently research, where I did a biodiversity inventory study in mangrove forests up north. I left the program more confident in myself and ready for anything."
