Summary
The continued destruction of Madagascar’s highland forests by subsistence farmers demands effective intervention. This project empowers Malagasy communities around the Tsinjoarivo-Ambalaomby Protected Area to establish and manage environmental stewardship agreements. By attracting impact investment and fostering local buy-in, it aims to drive reforestation, natural forest restoration, and sustainable agroecology. This will enhance food security and livelihoods, addressing both environmental and socio-economic
challenges for lasting impact.
