MFP recently worked with WeAct to document the cookstove project they support in Madagascar. WeAct provides fuel efficient cookstoves to households that reduce the amount of firewood needed to cook. This in turn decreases deforestation and local emissions - and improves health, income and employment opportunities for local communities. Goff traveled with the WeAct crew to Fianarantsoa to photograph in the factories that make the cookstoves and the homes of local community members that are using the stoves.

We are very proud that our good friend Mamy Razafitsalama of Planet Madagascar has won a Whitley Fund for Nature award! The award recognises Mamy’s work to protect forests and help biodiversity and people in communities in NW Madagascar. We have worked with Mamy on multiple film projects over the years and have seen first hand the vital work that he and the team are doing.

We had a fantastic time working with the RISE Our World Heritage crew and Vatosoa Rakotondrazafy. Vatosoa and Nicolas the presenter and founder of Rise took to the air for a unique perspective on the incredible biodiversity of Madagascar as well as some of the community based solutions that are helping to protect the environment.
