Location: Nosy Ankao in Madagascar
Time + Tide Miavana offers an escape to a remote sanctuary island in the Indian Ocean, located at the ends of the Earth; somewhere between paradise, a fairy tale and a dream. Taking 6 years to develop, with the idea of long-term sustainability of conservation through tourism, Time + Tide Miavana is built on a pristine private island. The complex is designed for today's explorer; Guests looking for an adventure park where our experts will recommend land and water activities, wildlife experiences, helicopter adventures, backed by the uniqueness of Madagascar. It is quite reasonable to plan magical dives on unexplored reefs, fishing trips from the beach, from other islands or from boat, wakeboarding and waterskiing at sunrise, kitesurfing safaris and adventure spelunking through the mountains with helicopters in pursuit.
The Time + Tide Foundation, our philanthropic arm, has worked with many local governmental and non-governmental organizations over the past 3 years to carry out two successful lemur translocations from the mainland to Nosy Ankao. This is a decade-long project, with the need for multiple translocations to guarantee the genetic diversity of the species on the island, as well as education and outreach on the mainland to guarantee the habitat and protection of the species. In the continental forest from which the lemurs moved, we have employed full-time rangers to monitor all species of lemurs and direct outreach to schools and residents on the importance of habitat and wildlife conservation. The second translocation brings the total lemur population to 11. With more genetic diversity among the lemurs now on the island, they are expected to establish discrete ranges and therefore reduce competition for pairs and territories. When the lemur population has outgrown Nosy Ankao, the long-term goal is to return some of the offspring to the mainland to repopulate areas that have been heavily affected by poaching. Some members of the Nosy Ankao community are now part of the TIME + TIDE Miavana Environmental Team and are in charge of environmental outreach to local schools and are responsible for assisting the TIME + TIDE Miavana guides when guests go on a tour of lemur tracking.
