Summary
In Côte d'Ivoire restoration deploys a sparce set of tree species and a fraction of the spectacular tree diversity of the former high conservation value forest. This project will build capability/capacity to use a wide array of indigenous, particularly threatened, through inventory of a degraded 6800 ha botanic reserve, seed collection, propagation, supporting nurseries to raise and stock a wider range of trees, and growing the market for them by raising awareness of biodiversity among cocoa and other restoration actors.
An innovative approach to agriculture in Madagascar enables communities to build climate-adaptive food systems while reducing pressure on biodiversity.
