Summary

This project generates foundations for long-term resilient conservation management of Lake Tseny, the most intact wetland within the Port Berge KBA, Madagascar, and home to at least eight Threatened species and 5,000 people, the majority of whom are dependent upon natural systems for drinking water, sanitation, timber, fuel, livelihoods and wellbeing. The tools and approaches adopted in this project will be showcased nationally, with support given for stakeholders wishing to apply climate resilient strategic conservation planning for wetlands in Madagascar.
