Integrating fisheries management strategies into grassroots Community-Based Conservation initiatives provided the foundation for the development of the first grassroots marine turtle management association in Madagascar. Through the adoption of a rights-based approach, stakeholders aim to safeguard biodiversity and the resources indigenous populations are dependent on for survival. ReefDoctor’s unique approach to marine turtle conservation utilising traditional ecological knowledge reduces conflict and significantly contributes to safeguard Madagascar’s marine turtle populations.
