representaion of Minister of Intertal Affairs L.A. Perovsky on 18th August

unite the most educated and progressive people of Russia who shared
concernment by the sharpest social and economic problems of the days.

 | Cetamada is a Malagasy non-profit organization (NGO) founded in 2009. Its aim is to preserve the marine mammal populations through several initiatives, ranging from whale watching, scientific research, community empowerment and co-management. Cetamada is one of the few NGOs with a shared database and also a leader organisation for the whale watching operations in Madagascar and in the Indian Ocean. The NGO is actively involved in scientific research projects including: characterisation of sound subunits for humpback whales song analysis, census of marine mammals and other pelagic megafauna by aerial survey in the French economic exclusive zone (ZEE), environmental education impact on whale-watching tourism, empowerment of local communities through artisanal workshops, documentaries and printed material to sensitise the general public. The Cetamada members are internationally recognised researchers involved in the International Whaling Commission, Indian Ocean Commission (COI) and marine research centres in France, as well as in other parts of Europe. We believe research activities and the empowerment of local communities are the building blocks to conserve marine mammal diversity. |
