Alliance Voahary Gasy (AVG)

Ndranto Razakamanarina is President of Alliance Voahary Gasy (AVG), an environmental organization in Madagascar.
In Madagascar, human rights defenders working on environmental rights including against illegal trafficking of natural resources, such as rosewood, and against extractive activities, are particularly at risk.
