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.

Amin'ny alalan'ny tambajotran'ny mpanakanto, mpanabe, mpahay siansa ary mpiaro ny tontolo iainana, dia manohana fomba fiasa iraisan-tsokajy izahay izay manasongadina sy mamaha ireo olana mivaivay indrindra atrehin'ny planetantsika ankehitriny.
