About ICTE
In the 1990s, ICTE was the major operator of the Ranomafana National Park Project (RNPP), a USAID-funded Integrated Conservation and Development Project that managed Ranomafana National Park. The RNPP was developed in response to Madagascar's 15-year National Environmental Action Plan. The goals of the RNPP were to (1) establish Ranomafana National Park, (2) promote sustainable development for villagers affected by the park, and (3) conserve the biodiversity of the park.
The RNPP was successfully completed in June 1998, with the transfer of management of the park and development activities to ANGAP, Madagascar's national park service. ICTE maintains close ties with the Malagasy NGO organizations that provide local villagers with development assistance.
We are currently undertaking the construction of a residence hall/laboratory for students and researchers on the Centre ValBio campus. We welcome your support of this initiative which will vastly expand our ability to teach the scholars of the next generation in one of the world's last remaining tropical rainforest laboratories.
ICTE is an institute within Stony Brook University. Contributions are managed by The Research Foundation of Stony Brook University, a private, non-profit organization with 501 (c)(3) tax exempt status. Stony Brook University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity educator and employer.
