Ando joined the Ankafobe team in 2010 after being selected from an appeal project launched by Madagasikara Voakajy to seek a new generation – young people in the area interested in nature and natural heritage conservation. He started working as a guide, maintaining infrastructures for ecotourism, and as an animator for the villagers and fire spotters. Currently, he is leading the Agroforestry project at Ankafobe as well as serving as an active member of the Sohisika Association. While at Ankafobe, his other tasks include monitoring all the indicators for the protected area management plan: birds, infrastructure status, and permanent tree plots.
