If you are interested in gender and marine conservation, come see @VatosoaRakoton1, @ivserna, Marianne Randriamihaja and me on a hybrid panel at #IMPAC5!

@LMMAMada was among the panelist with @TheWCS , @IUCN and @Cirad in day3 of #APAC2022 to talk about #OECM - Other Effective Area Based Conservation Measures. Discussion highlighted that LMMA approach will be far more effective if it is legally recognized.

Insightful presentation from @VatosoaRakoton1 on the efficacy of the MIHARI network as an OECM. Key lesson: the future of marine conservation is in #OECMs and local communities.

@LMMAMada participates at African #ProtectedAreas Congress #APAC in Kigali from 18th to 23th july. Vatosoa Rakotondrazafy talked about MIHARI Network experience in Locally managed marine areas in Madagascar. #LMMA #APAC2022 #MIHARI

Madagascar had problems with conflicts between shimp trawling and artisanal fisher #SSF in its coastal areas. As a solution they created a 2nm #inshoreExclusionZones for #bottomtrawling to give preferential access to #smallscalefisheries 🙌 @paubert5 @MoFMRAmv @LMMAMada #UNOC2022

🚨 #IPLCS representatives at #APAC2022 are calling for the recognition of Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities' rights from both the marine 🌊 & terrestrial spaces & for a human rights-based approach to conservation. More insights from @LMMAMada Chair, Vatosoa Rakotondrazafy👇
