MWC works closely with public primary schools to promote environmental awareness into school curricula, advocating for interactive and experiential learning to aid understanding of and interest in the natural world.  In the past few years, educational outreach has been increased to include natural resource users and associations.  MWC further works with Alaotra’s farmers and fishers to develop sustainable agricultural/fishing practices and to promote the creation of alternative revenue sources to alleviate pressure on the natural environment from traditional slash and burn agriculture and overfishing.  MWC is also leading the local community in ecotourism to link conservation efforts with development and to generate alternative incomes for the community, facilitating and moderating conservation and environmental education workshops with and for various stakeholder groups, and hosting conservation-focused community meetings.  They work to prevent illegal activities, such as bush-meat trapping and the conversion of wetlands to agricultural lands.  Additional projects include marsh restoration and community outreach.
