ASITY manages four protected areas: The Mahavavy-Kinkony Wetlands Complex is located in the northwestern part of Madagascar. It is a refuge for many important endemic and threatened species. The Mangoky-Ihotry Wetlands Complex is located in the Atsimo Andrefana and Menabe regions. This unique landscape contains dry forests, spiny forests, lakes, mangroves, and swamps. The extensive lowland forest of Tsitongambarika, located in the Tolagnaro District and The 24,760 acres of Torotorofotsy wetland, located in Andasibe in central Madagascar. At each location, ASITY conducts ecological monitoring, research on target species, and engages in conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity in collaboration with communities. Their Challenges Wildlife and their habitats face numerous threats in Madagascar. With an estimated 80% of the human population living below the poverty line, people in Madagascar resort to unsustainable practices in order to get by. Such activities include wildlife poaching and deforestation for firewood and charcoal production. ASITY is working to reverse these trends and assists communities in transitioning over to sustainable habits. Their Approach ASITY fosters long-term behavior change in local communities through environmental education. They empower both current and future generations to understand the connection between the conservation of local natural resources and their own well-being. Why They Need Your Help ASITY is increasing their work in the ecotourism, health, and education sectors in order to improve the socio-economic conditions in the areas they protect. In doing so, they are investing in the future of Madagascar and ensuring the critical lands they are conserving remain protected far into the future. These increased efforts are resulting in an increased positive impact for conservation, but to continue, they need funding.

Association Analasoa

The site contains different habitats including coastal areas, the Mahafaly plateau, and the southwestern spiny forest of Madagascar. These dry, spiny forests represent a unique and highly diverse ecosystem with an exceptionally high number of endemic species. It is also one of Madagascar’s most threatened vegetation types — the forest cover was reduced by 45% between 1973 and 2013. Inhabited by the Mahafaly people, whose livelihoods are dependent entirely on the use of natural resources, TNP is also one of the most economically and climatically disadvantaged regions. High forest degradation rates are the result of fire, grazing, slash-and-burn agriculture, logging, and production of fuelwood and charcoal. Their Challenges Located in one of the most impoverished parts of Madagascar, the challenges of sustaining wildlife and natural habitat are immense and can only be successfully overcome through the active participation of both local community members and Tsimanampesotse National Park officials. These challenges include significant deforestation and wildlife poaching. Their Approach Association Analasoa takes a varied approach, managing a variety of conservation and sustainable development programs. They empower local communities to shift their understanding of conservation. They manage educational nurseries, implement capacity-building programs, and much more. Association Analasoa has achieved remarkable success through their initiatives and programs. Why They Need Your Help Your donation will help protect endangered species, increase the surveillance of Tsimanampesotse National Park, increase the capacity for ecotourism in the area. Donations directly contribute to the positive transformation of TNP, fostering biodiversity conservation among future generations.
