Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper delves into the intricate interplay between ecological conservation and sustainable development on Ile Sainte-Marie, a captivating island off the coast of Madagascar. Through an exploration of biodiversity, ecosystem fragility, socio-economic dynamics, challenges, and opportunities, the study illuminates the complex tapestry that emerges when human aspirations and environmental preservation converge. The island's unique context presents a microcosm of the global struggle to strike a harmonious balance between progress and ecological well-being. With a focus on the delicate equilibrium between preserving its natural treasures and fostering community prosperity, this paper underscores the importance of collaborative efforts, stakeholder engagement, and the fusion of tradition and innovation in navigating the intricate waters of sustainable development. The lessons drawn from Ile Sainte-Marie's journey offer insights and inspiration for societies worldwide as they grapple with the challenges of harmonizing human progress with the imperative to safeguard our planet's fragile ecosystems.
