In 2009, Nadia completed an internship within the Community Engagement Project for Sustainable Development (ECDD), the ancestor of Dahari. She then returned to Madagascar to complete her Masters I and II in Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Mahajanga.

Back in the Comoros, we recruited her in 2015 into the ecology team, where she has evolved since.

After years spent in the forests of Anjouan on projects focused on lemurs, birds and reptiles, she specialized in research on the Livingstone fruit bat with our partner Bat Conservation International. Nadia had notably managed the flying fox counting campaigns by training trainees from the Patsy University Site (University of Comoros) and agents of our partner, the National Network of Protected Areas (Comoros National Parks).

She also worked on the management of natural resources through reforestation campaigns, moving to the position of senior technician thanks to training acquired in Mauritius and Madagascar with Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. Today and forever, we especially salute her courage, her dynamism as a female leader in our team and her enthusiasm for her work.

It's a sudden departure that makes us all very sad. All our thoughts go to his family to whom we send our most sincere condolences.
