Madagascar endlessly experiences the result of an environment in pain; it aches too often, declining its chance of survival. Despite the unfortunate political instability that has been occurring, we must not forget that we are also in the midst of a grave environmental crisis.

Blog Action Day was born in 2007, following the initiatives of founders Collis and Cyan Ta’eed. The idea was to subscribe a substantial number of bloggers from all four corners of the globe in an online interaction about current environmental issues. The event was a phenomenal success, as the world witnessed a concretisation of projects and exchanges of innovative ideas. Since then, in celebration of Blog Action Day, the blogging community dedicated a day to raise awareness on environmental issues. This year’s chosen theme is “water”.

Following a legal vacuum subsisting after March 2009, days turned into weeks and now months of political crisis. Lacking support and structure from within the country, as well as loosing international community’s financial assistance, ecological slaughter started and persits in the North East of Madagascar.
