These forests are situated in economically and climatically disadvantaged Southwest Madagascar, where local communities heavily rely on nature for their well-being. The lack of awareness among local populations regarding the importance of conserving resources for the benefit of future generations has led the local communities to the overexploitation of vital natural resources, especially during crises, threatening the rich plant and animal diversity. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Madagascar southwestern biodiversity protection is paramount. To protect these natural resources and support local livelihoods, Association Analasoa is challenged to implement innovative biodiversity conservation strategies with increased collaboration and community involvement. Urgent Appeal Association Analasoa’s conservation efforts prioritize mitigating the impact of human activity on biodiversity, a critical component of their mission. Covering 202,525 hectares, Tsimanampesotse National Park requires a strong protection and monitoring system, as well as community education and mobilization to reduce pressures. This initiative demands proactive engagement, steadfast commitment, dynamism, and strategic efficiency in addressing emerging challenges. To succeed, optimizing human and financial resources for nature conservation is essential for tackling the complex tasks involved in preserving the park. Why Your Donation Matters Association Analasoa’s participatory conservation initiatives in the Tsimanampesotse region have helped to improve the low involvement of local communities and increase their awareness of the importance of preserving natural resources. Over the past few years, the Analasoa concept and program, initially localized, have expanded to other areas of Tsimanampesotse National Park.

Urgent Protection Needed In Sierra Nevada De Santa Marta

FUNDING GOAL $12,175 DONATE TO PROAVES Verified for authenticity Learn More IMPACT PROMISE Our Partners are carefully selected due to their high conservation impact Partner Snapshot Partner Name Fundación ProAves Location: El Dorado Nature Reserve, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia Appeal Category: Ecosystem Restoration Endangered Species Protected Area Management Reforestation Wildlife Conservation Key Species: Santa Marta Parakeet Santa Marta Toro San Lorenzo Harlequin Frog Challenges And Threats: Illegal Invasions to claim and clear forest Vacation home developments Cattle pasture lands Actions: Reserve rangers Improve Protection Forest restoration The Challenge On Colombia’s Caribbean shores stands the highest coastal mountain on earth. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is a corrugated pyramid of rock that rises almost four miles high. This ancient massif that dates back to the Jurassic period contains a microcosm of the entire planet from deserts to rainforest to glaciers with an extraordinary diversity of plants and animals found nowhere else. It is regarded as the planet’s single most important site for threatened and endemic biodiversity, as it boasts the highest concentration of endemic bird species in the world. As a result, the prestigious journal Science dubbed the area the “Most Irreplaceable Site on Earth” and a major priority for biodiversity conservation. Located on the Sierra Nevada’s most vulnerable northwestern flank—less than ten miles from the city of Santa Marta—is perhaps the world’s most important nature reserve: El Dorado. Established in 2005 by our Colombian partner Fundación ProAves, the reserve protects over 3,200 acres, safeguarding habitat for threatened species such as the Critically Endangered Santa Marta Toro and the Santa Marta Harlequin Frog. However, in recent years land speculation around the reserve has spiraled out of control as the reserves offers surrounding areas with exceptional natural resources such as clean water, cooler climes and spectacular views. Unfortunately this speculation has spurred some unscrupulous individuals to try and illegal invade some parts of the reserve to claim land and then sell it. ProAves is desperate to increase protective measures at this Reserve. Urgent Solutions Following decades of uncontrolled colonization and agricultural expansion, less than 15 percent of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta’s original highland forest remains intact. All the more important that the El Dorado Nature Reserve represents one of the last refuges of strict protection for this mecca of endemic biodiversity. Principle threats include illegal invasions of the reserve to claim and clear forest then sell it for vacation home developments. The construction of vacation homes in the cooler climes of the mountain poses a growing danger to the forests and with land prices quadrupling each year, the demand for land is putting immense pressure on the reserve boundaries and what little forest survives outside the reserve. Unfortunately, the area’s many endangered and endemic species are concentrated in these cooler montane forests where threats are greatest. Almost every endemic species in the massif is struggling to survive amidst the continued destruction of their habitat. This appeal will provide critical resources to fund and equip three new Reserve Rangers, establish a new Ranger Station where threats are greatest and establish a communication network for alerts across the reserve to rapidly respond to threats. Why Your Donation Matters With invasions and deforestation placing this biodiversity jewel at tremendous risk, our partner urgently seeks support increase protective measures with additional reserve Rangers, new ranger stations and a communications system for alerts across the reserve. Your help will ensure the reserve continues to be a safe haven for the planet’s most important biodiversity hotspot.

Their Challenges Ankarafatsika National Park is facing strong pressures linked to forest and bushfires, charcoal mining, illegal logging, raffia exploitation, and human migration in search of arable land.  These pressures destroy a large area of ​​vegetation and thus cause the disappearance of a great deal of plant and animal biodiversity. The action of MNP alone is not currently sufficient to reduce and eradicate this scourge.  Thus, Association Fikambanana Fosa Andranofasika decided to take action and collaborate with MNP to carry out effective patrols, leading to reduced wildfires and increased awareness. Their Approach Association Fikambanana Fosa Andranofasika was formed and is run mainly by local people who have an intimate knowledge of the land and the threats it faces.  Some of their specific conservation actions include: Patrolling the buffer zones as well as the core of Ankarafantsika National Park and responding to threats, such as fires or illegal activities Recruiting young people in the region to join the cause, leading to the preservation of nature for future generations Holding awareness sessions in the villages surrounding the park to increase local engagement Why They Need Your Help Association Fikambanana Fosa Andranofasika is completely reliant upon donations to continue their operations.  Donations support their daily conservation operations, improve patrolling techniques, and invest in better equipment for their rangers.  

IMPACT Madagascar

DONATE TO IMPACT MADAGASCAR Verified for authenticity Learn More IMPACT PROMISE Our Partners are carefully selected due to their high conservation impact Partner Snapshot Partner IMPACT Madagascar Location Madagascar, Africa Category Community Support and Development Protected Area Management Wildlife Conservation Urgent Appeals Protecting Madagascar Remaining Dry Forests: Save Kasijy Special Reserve! Date Founded 2014 Website www.impactmadagascar.org Partner Qualifications Verified Partner Legally Constituted Effective Impact Conservation Action Heroes About IMPACT Madagascar IMPACT Madagascar is a Malagasy NGO who understands that you can’t protect endemic wildlife and endangered forests without taking into consideration the needs of the people living there. They take steps to preserve habitats and species while taking actions to benefit and empower local communities. Over the last decade, they have accomplished quantifiable and sustainable long-term solutions to the problems of biodiversity loss, deforestation and poverty. From tree nurseries and biodiversity conservation to improved farming techniques and income generation, they sponsor a variety of projects which build a bright and sustainable future for the people and wildlife of Madagascar. Their Challenges According to Global Forest Watch, Madagascar had 15.6 Mha of natural forest in 2020, extending over 26% of its land area. As of last year (2024) it has lost 226 kha of natural forest, equivalent to 115 Mt of CO₂ emissions. This is their primary challenge: the alarming rate of continual deforestation throughout Madagascar. Most of Madagascar’s tropical forests have been transformed into fragmented landscapes, leaving behind disconnected and degraded forest patches. This fragmentation creates barriers for wildlife and reduces available forest resources for all who rely on them. The reliance of local people on these incredibly limited forest resources is an additional challenge, and includes the issues of illegal logging, timber exploitation, charcoal production, wildlife poaching, overfishing with illegal traps and nets, land-clearing bushfires (often for agriculture), and general overuse of forest and aquatic resources. Notably, bushfires are a major concern in dry habitats, primarily occurring at the end of the dry season for agricultural preparation. Habitat threats are more prevalent when rangers are absent, particularly on weekends. Their Approach IMPACT Madagascar works alongside local people in order to empower communities, running community-led programs and coaching practical conservation skills that are sustainable for both people and the environment. They support IMPACT Madagascar’s communities through a holistic approach including: 1. Community Development and Community Conservation2. Environmental Outreach and Practical Environmental Education3. Forest and Wetlands Biodiversity and Habitat Monitoring4. Reforestation and Ecological Restoration They believe that successful conservation solutions must be implemented with community development at their core. Therefore, local people are involved in all stages of our conservation programs. We have established reforestation programs, where villages are actively restoring forest habitats via an annual tree planting program. Nursery species are also fast-growing to provide the communities with firewood, thereby conserving the protected forests. Local people are trained and then paid to monitor these programs as forest guards alongside the IMPACT team. Why They Need Your Help Madagascar is at serious risk of losing its remaining dry and gallery forest, along with the critically endangered species which live there. Increasing patrol capacity is vital to protecting these ecosystems, as threats occur mainly when rangers are absent, particularly over the weekends. Increasing crop yields and developing secondary income streams are vital for the long-term success of rural villages, reducing their dependence on harmful activities such as poaching or slash and burn agriculture. And environmental education provides the next generation with vital knowledge to continue this legacy of biodiversity protection. All of these initiatives are made possible by donations, and they are forever grateful for your generosity and support. Change cannot happen without your help, and they hope you will join them.

Corporación SalvaMontes

DONATE TO CORPORACIÓN SALVAMONTES Verified for authenticity Learn More IMPACT PROMISE Our Partners are carefully selected due to their high conservation impact Partner Snapshot Partner Corporación SalvaMontes Location Colombia, Latin America Category Endangered Species Protected Area Management Wildlife Conservation Urgent Appeals None currently Date Founded 2016 Website www.salvamontes.org Partner Qualifications Legally Constituted About Corporación SalvaMontes Corporación SalvaMontes is a non-profit organization in Colombia that focuses primarily on the biodiverse extreme north of the Tropical Andes hotspot.  Managing 2,900 acres of natural reserves of cloud forests, they safeguard over 16 Threatened species.  Their efforts center on the Alto de Ventanas, a significant biologically rich area at Colombia’s northern central Andes.  This region holds prominence in Colombia’s updated National Strategy for Plant Conservation.  Furthermore, it’s a proposed Key Biodiversity Area as per IUCN criteria. In the Alto de Centanas, Salva Montes manages three reserves spanning 1,900 acres, strategically placed to protect the magnolia trees, Handley’s slender opossums, and their habitat remnants.  They also manage 123 acres of nature reserve in the Darién Gap of Chocó, protecting the unique and endangered Magnificent butterfly palm.  Finally, SalvaMontes also co-manages 880 acres of forest in the highlands of northern-central Antioquia, where they are working to conserve the Critically Endangered Antioquia brushfinch. Their Challenges Forests in the Antioquia and Chocó departments of Colombia are in danger of being logged due to the opening of pastures for cattle and illegal wood production.  Although these forests are home to a great abundance of biodiversity and several endemic, threatened species, the threat of deforestation continues on. Their primary challenge in guaranteeing the conservation of Colombia’s wildlife is in protecting the most well-preserved fragments of habitat that still remain.  THey are also focused on restoring and rewilding the degraded areas of forest in order to reconnect fragments by mending the biological corridors.  While restoring forests is very difficult given the region’s deforestation trend, it is a highly effective, essential step in fighting the climate and biodiversity crises of today. Their Approach SalvaMontes implements its conservation projects in the following ways: Creation and management of natural reserves in areas that hold the best remaining habitat fragments Restoration of habitat in degraded areas, allowing for the reconnection of habitat fragments and recreation of biological corridors Propagation and planting of threatened tree species  Developing conservation plans for Critically Endangered species like the Antioquia brushfinch, Handley’s slender opossum, Ghost monkey orchid (also known as the Lemurella’s orchid), Magnificent butterfly palm, and Ventanas magnolia tree. Working with local people and landowners, SalvaMontes provides environmental education, raises awareness on environmental issues amongst communities, and works alongside locals in conservation action and sustainable development. Why They Need Your Help Currently, SalvaMontes is executing a conservation project to support the restoration of the natural populations of Magnolia trees.  Activities include the monitoring of trees, the collection and germination of seeds in a tree propagation nursery, and the planting of produced trees in their natural habitat.  This project will also help the expansion of Los Magnolios Natural Reserve through the purchase of a neighboring land parcel that has a large area of primary forests (608 acres), which will secure habitat for the species that inhabit this protected area.  SalvaMontes depends on generous donations to continue their essential conservation work in Colombia.  Your donation is used to support actions that produce a direct, positive impact in the conservation of threatened species and their habitats in Colombia.
