For Nature, Against Poverty
About Us
For 30 years and counting, we have been working with over 500,000 people across more than 540 partner communities in Madagascar’s south-east to care for its unique forests and build better lives together.
Because people and forests alike are threatened by extreme poverty, we tackle it all: clean water, health, education, livelihoods, human rights, and forest and wildlife conservation, as interconnected parts of one living system.
Why Madagascar?
Because there is no place quite like it.
Madagascar is alive with culture, community spirit, and remarkable biodiversity. Its forests are home to 5% of all known species on our planet, around 80% of which are found nowhere else.
Yet it is also among the world’s five poorest countries and one of the most affected by climate change. Here, poverty and environmental loss are deeply connected, and regenerating and protecting these precious ecosystems begins with addressing the challenges that leave people no choice but to depend on forest resources for survival.
