the forest is our studio / ny ala no studionay
oloNala — which means ‘humans’ and ‘forests’ in Malagasy — combines artistic expression and conservation to promote quality education, environmental stewardship, and sustainable development in Madagascar and other biodiversity hotspots. By cultivating a network of local artists, educators, scientists, and conservationists, we support interdisciplinary and community-driven approaches that highlight and address the most critical issues facing our planet today.

June 2025 - Nature Journaling at the Ranomafana Nature Center
June 2025 - Nature Journaling at the Ranomafana Nature Center
oloNala co-founder Rasolo and Ranomafana Nature Center Manager Jocelyn Randrianasoloniaina have brought the creative practice of nature journaling to the classroom! With their sketchbooks and colored pencils in hand, the students split into groups to practice observing and sketching the plant and animal life around them. The first observations included which trees in the area were fruiting, what insects were present in the garden, and how many legs a spider has!
Nature journaling is a playful and mindful practice that not only lets students express themselves creatively, but embraces their curiosity about the natural world and complements the lessons they take part in every Saturday at the Nature Center.
