The Challenge
Madagascar's unique biodiversity faces significant threats from habitat loss, primarily through the clearance of rainforest for cattle ranching and other unsustainable practices. These activities endanger critical species like the Sakalava Rail, Verreaux's sifaka, and the Madagascan big-headed turtle.
ASITY Madagascar works to address these conservation challenges through community engagement, development projects, and collaboration with various sectors. Their approach focuses on protecting important locations while simultaneously improving the socio-economic conditions of local communities who depend on these natural resources.
Urgent Appeal
ASITY Madagascar's conservation work spans four protected areas across Madagascar, each requiring consistent monitoring and management. Their efforts include capacity building for local communities and implementing sustainable management practices that balance ecological protection with human needs.
Through focused initiatives, ASITY fosters long-term behavior change through awareness raising, information sharing, and environmental education. Their work empowers communities and future generations to understand the vital connection between their wellbeing and the conservation of local natural resources, creating pathways for sustainable coexistence.
