Summary
Impoverishment is driving unsustainable natural resource use and habitat degradation in Madagascar. This project aims to improve the wellbeing of nature-dependent communities in Ambondrobe and therefore alleviate pressure on the natural environment. In nine villages, this project will promote Climate Smart Agriculture to improve food security, implement community finance schemes to enable financial independence, improve access to reproductive healthcare and strengthen local governance. Concurrent community reforestation and patrolling efforts will restore habitats and prevent further deforestation in the core zone.
