It will be 10 years in 2022, that "TAFOMIHAAVO" was created. On Tuesday, May 22, 2012, the “TAFO MIHAAVO” network was set up in Anja, Rural Commune of Iarintsena, District of Ambalavao, Region of Matsiatra-Ambony or the Community Network for the Protection of Natural Resources. The 400 grassroots local community groups or VOIs in Region 17 have mobilized to no longer struggle alone in the face of pressure. But that is not what is happening, 10 years later.

The various pressures on the community are increasing and it ends in their “loss of life” due to the protection of natural resources in different regions of our country, said the president of TAFO MIHAAVO. Local grassroots community leaders or VOI are the victims of this violence. Most VOIs across the island are members of TAFO MIHAAVO.

According to Mr. Razafimanandraibe Louis de Gonzague, president of TAFO MIHAAVO, there is an increase in the number of murders committed against the protectors of our natural resources. Many members of VOI have been victims of such violence.

They will not tolerate such a tragic situation, so they already take responsibility for the fate of these protectors of natural resources, and will file complaints against those who plot to destroy natural resources, especially the case of Mr. Rakotoarisoa Henri who was killed on June 2. This is the second violence against members of VOI... declared the president of TAFO MIHAAVO Razafimanandraibe Louis de Gonzague..
