            Jessica Pita is PADI's first South African blind scuba diver. She has a condition called optic atrophy, caused by a brain tumour that pressed on her optic nerves when she was 11. After it was removed, her central vision turned completely black, but with pinpricks of light that almost look like stars. This hasn't stopped her from becoming an avid diver however and a disability activist who encourages more people to discover the wonders of the underwater world.

      <title>REDUCING DEFORESTATION</title>
      <link>https://www.madagascarfilmandphotography.com/reducing-deforestation</link>
      <description>MFP recently worked with WeAct to document the cookstove project they support in Madagascar. WeAct provides fuel efficient cookstoves to households that reduce the amount of firewood needed to cook. This in turn decreases deforestation and local emissions - and improves health, income and employment opportunities for local communities. Goff traveled with the WeAct crew to Fianarantsoa to photograph in the factories that make the cookstoves and the homes of local community members that are using the stoves.</description>

           Film &amp;amp; Photography recently helped us get world-class photos of a sustainable development project we operate in central Madagascar – I highly recommend them for the quality of their work, communication and excellent client management. Goff was an amazing photographer, and beautifully captured the local stories, people and environments in a way that massively beat our expectations. He worked hard to make sure people felt comfortable in front of the camera, and had the deep expertise to set up each shot perfectly. This team works hard in preparation, and tirelessly to get the shots you need, and go above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience for everyone involved.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The MFP team also helped us manage significant local media restrictions; navigating government bureaucracy, detailed forms, and tight timelines, to ensure we had the permits necessary to capture images and use drones in various parts of the country. This team are well priced, extremely knowledgeable about their profession and about working in Madagascar, and will deliver excellent results – whether the focus is nature, underwater, people, indoors/outdoors etc. They can do it all.

           In breaking news! MFP is proud to announce that Chris's photo was the runner up in the Mangroves &amp;amp; Landscape category of the 2020 World Mangrove Day Photography Awards. The picture is of the stunning mangroves in Antsahampano in northwest Madagascar, with the island of Nosy Komba in the background. A location that holds a special place in my heart as not only are mangroves one of my favourite environments to film, photograph and spend time in but also because this is where I got to know the love of my life Leah Glass who along with local communities and her incredible colleagues at Blue Ventures does so much good work to conserve them.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           I hope that these photography awards highlight the importance of mangroves worldwide and in particular in Madagascar, where my picture was taken and I now call home. Mangroves are rich ecosystems that support the planet and people in unique ways, from storing carbon, to protecting habitats and villages against flooding, and as breeding grounds for fish. Unfortunately, despite their importance, mangrove forests are under severe threat. In Madagascar alone, more than 20% of mangroves have been lost over the last 30 years. In this region of the country a mangrove area equivalent to almost 800 football pitches is being lost every year.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In addition to climate change and sea level rise, there are also local threats. These include overharvesting of wood for fuel and construction, dams and irrigation that reduce the flow of water reaching the forests, and overfishing causing disruption to food chains and fish communities.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            I would like to say a special thanks to Leah Glass &amp;amp; Michel "Goff" Strogoff for sharing their in depth knowledge of the area and help in getting in the perfect position to capture the photograph. In addition I would like to say a big thank you to Ruth Leeney of Protect Africa’s Sawfish for commissioning me to film and photograph this vital mangrove system as part of an educational project on sawfish.
