Regula Ochsner is the founder and CEO of the NGO ADES (Association pour le Développement de l’Energie Solaire, Suisse-Madagascar). The objective of this programme is to provide solar cookers (Box and Parabolic solar stove) and efficient stoves. This is an important contribution to stop the deforestation process and thereby preserve the enormous Biodiversity of Madagascar. Ochsner started ADES in 1999 for protecting the environment. Today in nine centres more than 160 ADES employees manufacture, implement and promote the further improvement of efficient and energy saving household energy.
