🐸 Ambatovy a eu l'honneur de participer au 1er Festival des Amphibiens de Madagascar, organisé les 7 et 8 novembre à Andasibe, pour mettre en lumière ses actions de conservation des amphibiens en collaboration avec l’association Mitsinjo. Cet événement a permis de sensibiliser le public à l'importance de préserver ces espèces menacées. 👍Depuis 2007, Ambatovy s'investit activement dans la protection des amphibiens, en prenant en compte l'impact de l’exploitation minière sur leurs habitats. Plus de 90 espèces d'amphibiens ont été recensées sur notre site minier, dont 9 sont classées en danger. En réponse aux défis de préservation de ces espèces, Ambatovy a mis en place un programme de gestion des espèces, respectant les standards internationaux de conservation. 💪Parmi nos réussites, la Mantella aurantiaca en est un exemple clé : grâce à notre programme de conservation et de réintroduction, son statut a évolué, passant de "En danger critique (CR)" à "En danger (EN)" sur la liste de l'UICN. Depuis le lancement de ce programme en 2012, plus de 4 700 individus de Mantella aurantiaca ont été réintroduits dans les zones protégées d'Ambatovy, une réussite importante célébrée avec les partenaires de conservation et les communautés locales. Ce festival a ainsi offert une occasion précieuse pour Ambatovy de mettre en lumière ces efforts pour la conservation des amphibiens à Madagascar, soulignant l'importance de la collaboration entre les acteurs privés, publics et les communautés locales. 🙏🤝 #Amphibiens #Conservation #EngagementEnvironnemental #Mantellaaurantiaca #Sensibilisation #Stakeholder

✔️ As part of its commitment to supporting host communities and stakeholders, Ambatovy has made a series of IT equipment donations this year to regional directorates of ministerial departments, National Gendarmerie brigades, and selected rural communes in the Atsinanana and Alaotra Mangoro regions.

✳️ Ambatovy Welcomes the Visit of the Minister of Mine ✔️ On Saturday, Ambatovy had the honor of hosting the Minister of Mines, Olivier RAKOTOMALALA and his delegation at our plant in Toamasina. This visit allowed them to see firsthand the situation following the recent ore slurry pipeline incident on September 25, 2024, which forced us to suspend operations. The Minister expressed the Government’s support for Ambatovy, especially during these challenging times, acknowledging our importance in Madagascar’s economy. ✔️ After the incident, our priority has been the safety of our people, surrounding communities, and environmental protection. We’ve undertaken various inspections and assessment of our ore slurry Pipeline, completing a successful hydrotest last week to confirm the integrity of our pipeline at a reduced pressure. ✔️ As we move forward, we will gradually resume operations, ensuring that every possible risk is carefully managed. Ambatovy will resume full operation only when all risks are deemed manageable and mitigation measures are in place to ensure safety for our employees, communities, and the environment. #ResponsibleMiningIndustry #ContinuousImprovement

📚🎓The Ambatovy Scholarship Program has been expanded to include young boys, providing financial support to deserving secondary school students within Ambatovy’s areas of operation.

In honor of World Photography Day. We are excited to introduce you to our talented photographer, Tsiaro Ramanantsoa, who is eager to share his passion and experience with the Ambatovy family. "I've had a passion for photography since I was young. This passion has allowed me to capture unique moments and convey emotions through my camera lens. For me, photography is a way to explore the world and reveal different perspectives that are often invisible to the naked eye. When I joined Ambatovy in 2021, I added a new layer to this passion: health and safety. As the company's official photographer, I am responsible for strictly adhering to safety procedures, just like any other employee. This includes using personal protective equipment suited to each area I work in to minimize the risk of accidents. This requirement brings an extra dimension to my work, making each photo session both a challenge and a responsibility. One of my most memorable experiences over the past three years has been photographing lemurs in the Ambatovy conservation areas. I walked several kilometres through the forest, staying focused and vigilant to capture the perfect angle. The difficulty and beauty of this mission made it an unforgettable adventure, one that I hope will stay with me forever." #WorldPhotographyDay #ambatovy #talent
