Learn More About Antrema Miray Antrema Miray (AMI) is a non-profit organization in Madagascar that was created by Prince Tsimanendry, Guardian of the Traditions.  Their mission is to facilitate sustainable development and conserve the biodiversity, natural resources, and cultural heritage of the Biocultural Site of Antrema.  The protected area of Antrema is located in northern Madagascar in the Province of Mahajanga.  It is over 50,000 acres, including nearly 2,500 acres of marine reserve, and is home to hundreds of endemic species. Their Challenges The Biocultural Site of Atrema has suffered from deforestation, droughts, and erosion, all largely fueled by anthropogenic forces.  The natural balance of the area has been significantly destabilized.  Rewilding and conserving this area is of vital importance.  There are many endangered species that depend on Antrema for their survival, including the Crowned sifaka and Mongoose lemur. Their Approach AMI works in collaboration with local communities to preserve the rich biodiversity and cultural heritage of the Biocultural Site of Antrema.  They provide environmental education, social support, and conflict-resolution to local communities.  They also lead sustainable development initiatives, providing essential support for environmental conservation and community development.   Why They Need Your Help By supporting AMI’s initiatives, you contribute to the conservation of the natural wonders of the Biocultural Site of Antrema.  AMI is dependent upon donations to continue their critical work of conserving Madagascar’s unique species, habitats, and culture.

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.

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.

About Association Analasoa The Analasoa Association is located in Tsimanampesotse National Park (TNP) of southwestern Madagascar, an area that is considered one of the world’s highest conservation priorities.  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.
