The power of small grants

Hi Beth,

I hope all is well.  I wanted to share some great news and reiterate our thanks to the ZACC grants program.

 

This past week, the Chelonian Research Monograph was published. It is a compilation of peer-reviewed articles dedicated to the turtles and tortoises of Madagascar. We were honored to have an article titled below included in the publication!

 

 Community Outreach and Education Promoting the Conservation of the 

Radiated Tortoise, Astrochelys radiata, in Lavavolo, Madagascar

 

This project would never have happened without the support from the ZACC grant we received in Seattle.  It was just the spark this program needed to ignite. Since this initial program, we have carried out 3 additional education programs with teachers, community members and school children and are now in the process of building the "Dream School" which will also serve as a conservation hub and community center in Lavavolo. 

 

Thank you for believing in us at Conservation Fusion and providing this initial funding for the project. Enjoy the article.

 

All my best.

Susie McGuire
